1. A hair clipper attachment comb for use with a powered hair clipper having a clipper bladeset including a stationary blade and a moving blade reciprocating laterally relative to the stationary blade, said attachment comb comprising:
a comb base having a rear edge in operational relationship with the stationary blade and an opposite front edge, said base defining a centerline extending between said rear edge and said front edge;
a plurality of comb teeth each having a tooth base associated with said front edge and a tip opposite said tooth base;
said teeth being arranged on said comb to have a nonuniform spacing between adjacent teeth relative to said centerline, such that said spacings between said teeth are bilaterally symmetrical about said centerline;
said spacing between said comb teeth includes a first spacing distance for a first pair of said teeth straddling said centerline, a second spacing distance for second pairs of said teeth next adjacent said first pair of teeth; and a third spacing distance for third pairs of said teeth next adjacent said second pairs of said teeth, said first, second and third spacing distances decrease progressively from said centerline;
said front edge of said attachment comb base adjacent comb teeth rear ends defines between adjacent teeth “U”-shape, and a radius of a base of the “U” is reduced correspondingly from said centerline with the decreased tooth spacing progressively from said centerline;
each said comb has an inclined surface extending gradually upwardly from said tooth base adjacent said comb base and towards said comb tooth rear end; and
said rear edges of each said comb define a line in spaced relationship to a cutting line defined by the clipper bladeset, a distance between said line and said cutting line being in the range of 0.0625 to 0.25 inch for enhancing a flow of hair through said attachment comb.
