Three Art School Friends.
One Promise.

In 2004, three friends who had studied together at Sichuan Fine Arts Academy �?all from Chongqing �?sat down after graduation and had a conversation that changed everything.

One of them had a father who made traditional wooden combs �?the lacquered kind that looked shiny but felt rough. He'd grown up watching his father work and always thought, "This is what combs are supposed to be like."

Until he stayed at an old craftsman's home and tried the craftsman's unlacquered comb �?simple in color, warm and smooth in the hand, gentle on the scalp. It left his hair neat and his scalp refreshed.

He asked: "Why don't you lacquer this comb?"

The craftsman answered: "Lacquer is for others to see. The comb is for your own scalp."

That sentence became the starting point of Chomb.

The three friends decided: make combs without lacquer. Polish them to perfection �?not 600 grit, not 1,000 grit, but 3,000+ grit. So that every tooth feels as smooth as a baby's skin.

They chose the name "Choumumu" �?"Chou" means unadorned, without pretense; "Mu" is wood, the material. No disguise, just the honest beauty of natural timber.
