Robbie:
It is an all-too-common occurrence here to have an advertisement for a product disguised as a post. Almost invariably it is a new person's first post.
If you are indeed a new person who simply meant to bring to our attention something interesting, I apologize most humbly.
Please do not let my boorishness drive you away from this fine place, one which I cannot frequent as much as I used to when I had a job that kept me tied to a computer all day. I had to retire to start getting a life!

the combination of spam and combs produces a mental image which is just nasty.

Whatever you might do in writing, the transition from a dental stop to a glottal plosive is just too difficult for cotidian speaking. The dental fricative to glottal plosive combination is much easier.
(Thanks to Dr Bill for catching my cotidial. Correction made.)

yeah, what Faldage said, I think?
I've always said fine tooth comb with a sorta implied hyphen like fine-tooth, said slurred together with a quickly following comb. The pause simillar to the glottal stop heard in Hawaiin words and indicated by the okina '
Fine-tooth'comb.
