| Chris Christensen Brush What type of CC brush is best? I've read that the Gold series is very popular among people but what size should I get? I'm not sure if I should get the 20mm or 27mm? What does everyone else use? I'm not growing her hair really long for show or anything, just a few inches long probably. Thanks for any advise!! |

| I was just checking out the CC brushes at a store the other day but I can't seem to bring myself to spend $50 on a brush right now. So I settled on buying a $20 CC butter comb! I'd love to get one of those gold series brushes though...maybe I'll ask for one for christmas! |

| I got the pocket one too, and it works great . I also used the buttercomb (I think it's #006) to comb out his eye bogies and it worked like a charm. Last edited by njoydaride; 07-29-2007 at 02:46 PM. |

| Thanks for all the info. What is the main difference between the gold and the pocket fusion? I'm not that familiar yet with all of the different brushes CC has. Bella has more of a cottony coat, but she still has puppy hair too. She doesn't like to be brushed with the different kinds I have tried so I need something that won't hurt her, that's why I thought I'd better try a CC brush since I hear they are so great. She has a few mats around her front legs also that I'm not sure how to get out. What brand does everyone use to spray on them before brushing? Thanks again for all the help!!! |

| I honestly don't know what the difference is between the Gold and Fusion pocket pin brush. The Fusion is made of solid brass pins that are static free, but I am not sure how this compares to the Gold. I first learned of the CC brushes from a thread on YT. Everyone was raving about the gold pin brushes. So I decided to get a pin brush but when I was ordering I opted for the Fusion, simply because it was newer. I highly recommend getting a CC brush. Roxie had the same problem as Bella, she HATED to be brushed. Now Roxie loves when I brush her! Which makes me very, very happy! I use John Paul Smooth Coat Instant Detangling Spray and PetSilk Shampoo and Conditioner.

| The fusion brushes are solid brass 100% static free and can be used when keeping a dog in oil where as the gold can wear off and not recommended to use with oil... My dogs have a silk coats so I use the shorter pins but for a cotton coat you might want the medium... you might also consider a Isinis Brush... Last edited by Tx2Stepn; 07-29-2007 at 06:44 PM. |

| I've got the bigger brush because Sadie's hair was longer when I got it. I wish I had the smaller one now. It's the best $$ I ever spent!!!

Therapy Dog Donating Member | Isinis?? Hi Sonja - thanks for a great post - I'm looking to get a good quality brush for Izzy and have been looking at this thread. You mentioned short pins?? Also what is an Isinis brush and what's the diff between the CC and Isinis brush? Izzy has silky hair too and she is only 2.5# and 7 mos. old so she would need a small brush.

| i bought the 20 mm gold series. and would not use any other one my dogs. it took me a long time to decide to spend that much on a brush. they(yt members) told me this same thing when i was pondering the idea. if you have any questions about the brush you can call them.(i did) they are very nice to talk to. I asked what the difference is in the gold series. they told me it is for the more fragile hair types. it has more give and so in turn less breakage. the tips of the pins are polished and there is absolutely no scratching. it is more of a massage. they were right! well worth the money.
