Each astronaut aboard a spacecraft has a personal hygiene kit with items for cleanliness and grooming during the mission. Contents typically include a comb, hairbrush, toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, soap, shaving supplies, lip balm, skin cream, nail clippers, and deodorant. This comb was in the personal hygiene kit for pilot Robert Crippen on the first Space Shuttle mission, STS-1, in April 1981.
NASA transferred this and a variety of typical crew items to the Museum shortly after the mission.
