This Titanium Beard Comb Is the Only One You’ll Ever Need to Buy

So you’ve grown a fantastic beard. It’s just the right length, thickness and has just enough grit to show you mean business.

Now that it’s all set, how are you going to take care of it?

Sure, you have your favorite oil and lather, but your secret weapon is likely your comb. It maintains and tames the beast into a manageable situation.

A new San Jose, CA-based startup is launching new beard comb, perhaps the last one you’ll ever need.

The Macco Titanium Beard Comb is a sleek, modern take on the traditional plastic instrument. It’s the result of months of testing and research by two bearded guys who have known each other since elementary school.

“Nothing cut it for us,” says co-founder/co-designer Riley Thomasson. “This was an opportunity for us to step into an untouched market.”

The combs are made in the Bay Area and begin as laser-etched pieces of titanium. The material is lighter and stronger than steel and also won’t soak up any product that you already have in your beard.

Then, the combs are sent to a tumbler to clean up sharp edges and put the finish on the handsome final design. The team wanted to keep the manufacturing process local to control quality and speed up the entire production.

We went through 25 different iterations to get the final design,” co-founder/co-designer Kyle Skippon says.

The combs come in three beardworthy styles. The “Pint” is for mini beards and mustaches. The “Stein” is for medium builds and the “Growler” is for large, bushy facial hair. There are also three options for engraving into the titanium – each complements the overall flow of the comb.

Beard tamers can add on a leather pocket case, made just down the road in Monterey, by The Leather Company.

Their Kickstarter is almost funded and will run until December 27. You can support it here.

Vacheron Constantin introduces first minute repeater to overseas collection
Three complications, one sports watch: vacheron's new overseas breaks new ground
Vacheron Constantin Minute repeater

Vacheron Constantin presented the Overseas Grand Complication Openface. This is the first time a minute repeater has been used in the Overseas collection, which is known as a sporty line. The watch combines three major complications in a water-resistant titanium case.
Inside the new model is the manufacture's Calibre 2755 QP, a thin movement measuring 7.9mm. It features a minute repeater, a perpetual calendar, a tourbillon, and a power reserve indicator. This level of complexity is not often seen in luxury sports watches, as grand complications have usually been reserved for more formal watch lines.
The name "Openface" comes from the watch’s sapphire crystal dial, which makes the complex mechanism underneath visible. This clear design shows off the beauty of the movement. Rhodium-plated wheels and NAC-treated parts add a modern contrast that fits with the Overseas collection’s style.
Instead of sticking to traditional grand complication designs, Vacheron Constantin has put this watch in titanium. This material is chosen for its light weight and its ability to transmit sound well for the minute repeater. The case has new shapes that keep the Overseas profile while housing the complex movement.
As is usual for the Overseas collection, the watch comes with a titanium bracelet, keeping both comfort and practicality. Despite the complex mechanisms inside, the watch remains water-resistant difficult achievement for a minute repeater.
The Overseas Grand Complication Openface represents a change for Vacheron Constantin’s sports luxury line. The Geneva-based manufacture brings its top watchmaking expertise to the Overseas collection, continuing to blur the lines between high complications and everyday wearability.
Full specifications and pricing have not yet been released. This new reference will sit at the top of the Overseas collection and will be among the most technically advanced sports watches offered by any manufacturer.
