I've never had a problem using a comb on wet hair as long as I take it small sections at a time. I work through a matt with ice on ice and with my fingers. I never use a slicker brush. This is just how I do things....I always have my dogs in oil and wrappers.

Donna, I guess I wide tooth comb wouldn't be bad but, combs do stretch the hair strands....learned that from a hair dresser (my daughter). If you use the side of the slicker brush it works great.....
I have some that won't stay in wrappers....do more damage the help.....so, I keep those in Almond Oil. Boys are kept in plastic wrappers so I don't oil.....worry about mildew (just me)....girls I keep in paper/silk wraps.
But, then as you said show dogs are different then pets...and diligent care is necessary... Unless, campaigning a dog....they are cut down after Championing....much less worry and so the dogs and I are much happier.
