I have had the same comb for fifteen years. It is a standard tortoiseshell pocket comb that has served me well in all my hair grooming needs. However, last night I suffered a great trauma when I accidentally snapped the comb in half. Having attempted to glue it together and gotten the glue in my hair (causing no end of humiliation), I opted to use the two pieces alternately. However, I have been told that I should buy a new one.
Would this be a sensible purchase?

The comb holds no sentimental value, its just a comb. I just worry about the extravagence of a new one.

Mmm...possibly. I definitely would look into it anyway.

I don't know anyone else on here who can ask a question and you have to wait five minutes before answering because of the chuckles... that one was good - my advice to you is that yes, a new comb would be a very sensible purchase. If you were to buy an identical tortoiseshell pocket comb then it should not look or feel out of place when grooming.
Goodnight Dicky.

I recommend that you glue it back together again, only this time wait until the glue dries before you comb your hair again. DO NOT THROW OUT THE COMB!! It has served you well for many years, and you can't get rid of it just because it's now a little disabled.

hmmm, very difficult question, if you're fond of it & you have got ALL the glue out of it & in half it still combs your hair properly (lol...) then keep it, even better that now youhave 2 of your favourite comb.
If you said no to any of the above buy a new one (make sure it looks the same or closest match). Then say thank you to the good old comb for serving all these years & recycle it as least. ohhh...

lol! the fact that your asking this question should make a little warning bell go off in your head lol! YES buy a new comb! I'm sure it will serve you just as well if not better as this old friend. Maybe you could get a shadow box and frame your buddy. Hey it might not be such a bad idea!

YES! Think of all the dead skin cells that have been festering on that comb since time began (unless of cause you sterilise it every three months or whatever).
I think since your comb has such sentimental value to you, you could actually keep it. I mean, people keep things like their baby's comb etc. In actual fact, I can't think of many things that last that long, 15 years is quite a feat.

Ah ,finally a question with earth shattering impact! fifteen years is a long time and it is likely that your hair will rebel against a new comb by falling out.To avoid this consequence i suggest finger combing for a while until your hair gets through the withdrawal phase.

If you've got a dollar to spare, I'd consider investing it in a new comb.
