I saw this comb lashes with a friend and tried the same. I have pretty long eyelashes, which sooner or later vekleben with the best mascara to "Flying legs". With my girlfriend, I have separated the ridge, my already dried eyelashes. That takes a while and is certainly not very meaning and purpose of the thing, but it also works. Best combing one's eyelashes immediately after the application of mascara by until they are slightly dried. A good trick is to give the mascara directly to the ridge and thus to deceive the eyelashes. This leads to a great, subtle result. I clean the brush in clean water with a little soap and a hand brush. In the application should proceed calm and collected. One slip can be zeimlich painful! But a super comb. No comparison to plastic articles! Would recommend to anyone!
