Need help with Chris Christensen brush

[keokis mom]

Hi all!!!
I am going to buy a Chris Christensen brush but was looking on their website and am not sure was size or mm I should buy- could someone please help??? Keoki has long hair and lots of it- he is also 6 pounds so I do not know what size to buy ???? Also does anyone have a preference between the gold and the fusion??? I appreciate the input and help- I am ready to purchase it ASAP but want to buy the right one. Thanks!!!!!

I have and love the 20mm gold pin brush.

I have seen others post that the fushion brush wasn't worth the price - but I have no first hand experience with this.

I loved my CC Gold series brush with the 27 mm pins. I hated the Fusion brush. It wasn't worth the money. I sold it after only using it a few times.

My new favorite brush is the Madan pin brush. I didn't think anything could make me give up my Gold Series brush, but it did. The Madan is used by show people and is the best brush I have ever used.

How is this brush different than the gold pin brush, and why do you like it better? I've read several people rave about this, but don't know why they prefer it. Does it have something to do with the dogs coat. Joey's hair is fairly long and silky.

I don't know if it's the pins or the "give" or both, but it just glides through coats. I loved my CC Gold brush. It was all I used for years. I didn't think I'd find I brush I like better, but the Madan wins hands down.

I don't think they are that well known. They are mostly sold at dog shows and used by show people. They're a well kept secret!

A member on another forum sells them at dog shows for even less than Lainee - $16.99. If you are interested, pm me and I can give you her email address. I got mine from her.

I just got this brush today. I don't have the CC brush, so I can't compare it, but I can compare it to a regular pin brush, and there is a world of difference. If you take a regular pin brush and brush your arm, it scratches, the Maden brush doesn't do this, and the difference is quite amazing. There are many more pins than on a regular dog brush and they seem very flexible which would help if there were any tangles. The brush glides through the hair, but where I really noticed the difference was the chest hair, and Joey always seem to struggle a little with this. I don't know if the other brush pins hurt or what, but he didn't seem to mind me brushing his chest and leg hair and when the brush accidentally hit my hand, I didn't mind either. If you are on a budget, I would highly recommend this bush because it's a much more affordable alternative than the CC brush, and I've read that many like it better.

My first Chris Christensen was an oblong 20mm pin brush and I used it for a couple years, then the pins started pushing into the pad. When I replaced it I bought a 27mm round fusion brush. Well, the head seemed too big for my Yorkies and hated for all that money to go to waste, so I tried it on my own long hair. I love it! It works great and feels good on my scalp.

I bought a new 27mm oblong brush for my Yorkies. I find that with a long coat, the 27mm works better and the oblong size seems to fit better. These are great brushes and are worth the extra cost. I don't see any benefit for the fusion though.

I just recently became a CC addict. I personally love the 20 gold pin brush. I think that the length of the pins is more a personal preference than anything. Unfortunately, they are pricey making it hard to try each and figure it out. I personally like the 20 better than the 27, but use my brushes more so to finish the coat........I use a comb to get any tangles out. And yes, the CC combs are wonderful as well. Enjoy whatever you choose!
