The present invention advantageously allows for a shearing comb (1) including teeth (3) of reduced curvature (5) - thereby providing reduced drag resistance when passed through wool -while ensuring that the shearing comb nevertheless provides sufficient cutting span.I/lI 7A 4 5 3 12 4 5 3 6 9 2 10 10 Figure 1
