AC/DC, Combsgiving Gift Guide, Pilsner Pistachio Party

Beats, Beards & Brews

Rock 'n' roll legends AC/DC are back in 2020 to make everyone's year a little brighter — and a lot more rockin' — with their 17th studio album PWR/UP aka POWER UP. How does the new album compare to the band's classic releases? Tune in to find out.

AC/DC tracks previewed on this episode include:

1. "Shot in the Dark"
2. "Through the Mists of Time"
3. "Money Shot"

Next up, Eric shares some of his extensive hair and beard comb knowledge just in time for the "Combsgiving" holiday season. What makes him the expert? Personal experience of course. Eric provides recommendations that include combs made of plastic, wood, ox horn, and carbon fiber.

Meanwhile, Dan shares his go-to Kent pocket comb alternative that is also linked below.

Combs mentioned in the "Combsgiving" segment include:

• Kent Hand Made Sawcut Combs (6T and 12T) — Plastic
• Beardbrand's Large Comb (Official Website) — Plastic
• Myhsmooth Sandalwood Comb (Amazon) — Wood
• Ox Horn Beard Comb (Beard Octane) — Ox Horn
• Chicago Comb Co. Model No. 8 (Official Website) — Carbon Fiber

Eric's top-ranked, personal five-star comb picks include the versatile Kent 6T and the Chicago Comb Co. Model No. 8. Dan favors the Kent 12T for its portability and wider teeth.

In addition to the Kent website, those combs are widely available on Amazon (6T and 12T). Or you might want to consider picking one up alongside some Premium Beard Oil at The Beard Baron's website — that is where Eric first learned about Kent combs. Chicago Comb Co. offers many of its carbon fiber combs on Amazon, but we recommend supporting sellers directly via their own websites (linked above in the bullet point list) to cut out the middle man whenever possible. Amazon is doing just fine. Eric's runner-up picks include the stylish Beardbrand Large Comb and the budget-friendly Myhsmooth Sandalwood Comb (both included and linked within the bullet point list above).

He also mentions stainless steel combs, but these are a little more harsh on the beard and tend to be a lot pricier. That being said, Bisson Combs is one of the highest quality stainless steel comb companies around. Those things will last you a lifetime.

Whew! That was a lot of comb knowledge. Evan and Eric wind things down with some Green Dragon New Zealand Pilsner from Lion Bridge Brewing Co. based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Meanwhile, Dan drinks the refreshing Pistachio Cream Ale from Indeed Brewing Co. based in Minneapolis. Cheers and happy holidays!
