Step by Step
Step 1: Make design layout
The first step is to download the comb template. You can choose from three different options, and you can adapt the size of the comb based on the beard size! After deciding the design and size, you will place the wood on the table and cover the rest of it with another material (ex. paper), to guarantee good suction.
