Kent FOT Handmade Pocket Comb – 112mm
Keep your hair neat wherever the day takes you with the Kent FOT Handmade Pocket Comb.
Compact, lightweight and easy to carry, this traditional men’s pocket comb is designed for fine or thinning hair. Its closely spaced fine teeth provide controlled styling without the bulk of a full-sized grooming comb.
Each comb is cut from a large sheet of cellulose acetate rather than produced using a standard moulding process. This creates a comb that feels smooth, flexible and durable in the hand.
At just 112mm long, the Kent FOT fits easily into a pocket, grooming bag, desk drawer or travel kit, making it a practical everyday tool for quick styling and touch-ups.

Designed for Fine and Thinning Hair
The Kent FOT features fine, closely spaced teeth that are particularly effective for grooming fine, short or thinning hair.
The narrow spacing helps collect and control smaller sections of hair, making it easier to create a tidy, polished finish. It is well suited to classic men’s hairstyles, shorter cuts, side parts and everyday styling.
Men with very thick, coarse or tightly curled hair may prefer a Kent comb with wider or mixed-width teeth.
Handmade from Cellulose Acetate
Kent handmade combs are cut from large sheets of cellulose acetate rather than being formed in a conventional mould.
Cellulose acetate gives the comb a smooth, tactile feel while providing a useful balance of strength and flexibility. Each tooth is carefully finished and rounded to help the comb move comfortably through the hair.
The result is a refined grooming tool designed for regular use rather than a sharp-edged disposable comb.
Smooth Rounded Teeth
The rounded teeth are designed to glide through the hair without scratching the scalp or catching unnecessarily on individual strands.
This makes the FOT a comfortable choice for daily grooming, particularly for men with fine or thinning hair who want to avoid pulling aggressively through the hair.
For the best results, begin at the ends of longer hair and gradually work towards the roots rather than forcing the comb through knots.
Compact Pocket-Sized Design
Measuring 112mm, the Kent FOT is small enough to carry throughout the day without taking up unnecessary space.
Keep it in your:
- Trouser or jacket pocket
- Work bag
- Gym bag
- Bathroom cabinet
- Car grooming kit
- Travel toiletry bag
- Barbershop station
Its compact size makes it ideal for correcting your hairstyle after wearing a hat, travelling, exercising or spending time outdoors.
Suitable for Wet or Dry Hair
The Kent FOT can be used on both wet and dry hair.
Use it on damp hair to create a clean shape before applying styling cream, pomade or gel. On dry hair, it can be used to refine a parting, distribute styling product or tidy loose sections throughout the day.
Avoid pulling heavily through tangled wet hair, as wet strands can be more vulnerable to stretching and breakage.
How to Use
For everyday styling, begin with clean wet, damp or dry hair.
Apply a small amount of your preferred styling product if required. Comb the hair in the direction of your chosen style, using slow and controlled movements.
For a defined side part, create the parting first and then comb each section away from the line.
After use, remove any loose hair from between the teeth and rinse the comb with lukewarm water when required. Dry it thoroughly before returning it to your pocket or grooming bag.
