> If you take care of a Yonoya comb, it’ll last you for decades, the company says

I don't take care of my $3 Ace plastic comb, and it's over 20 years old. You're telling me for this Japanese one I need to pay $200 and I need to start taking care of it??

You can also buy metal combs for ~$10 that will last centuries, with virtually zero chance of breaking any of the teeth off
Those are prone to warping but are otherwise quite nice. You can often unbend them enough, eat least this has been my experience.
Interesting to hear about other ppl's experience with warping.

I have some metal combs that I bought 20+ years ago that haven't warped at all (i.e. I have them on the table in front of me right now and they are lying perfectly flat).
