You might want to try Isle of Dogs and or ISB Iv Saint Bernard. I particularly like IOD, I think I have a thread in the Grooming section, where I gave out the instructions that I received in Kentucky from an expert on their products. I've just recently purchased the IOD Royal Jelly Shampoo and am going to use this wkend. Running very very close is ISB - their mink oil, and PEK can be particularly usefull. I actually use the PEK on my blackies beards, and it really really works well on their heavy duty mats.
For the conditioner my still favourite is Biogroom Silk - can't really describe why. I also have a special conditioner for the topknot - but it is from Latvia so I can't even read the name. lol
IOD heavy duty conditioner #51 was wonderfull when we were swimming a few times a week. I acually wrapped him in this a few times prior to going in swimming, and it was a breeze, to bathe him afterwards and rewrap.
It is a little heavy right now for his coat, but as winter approaches and it gets drier in the house, and he just loves to find a heat vent to lay over, I'm sure I;ll be pulling that out again.
IOD has a superb product call Lift, it is a very light hair spray, but without the tackiness of hairspray. You can build volumne with this, and last wk end I use to set topknot. Pretty pleased with that.
The other thing you can do is if you go to a show to buy products you can ask for a sample of other products you'd like to try out
IOD I am using their conditioning spray to brush before rewrapping. I quite like that, I also use on blackies beards, and I find a real improvement in their beard quality.
I also started saving my waterbottles, that have the pull out top, to use as mixing bottles for dilution. They are just the right size. Also as I'm going to New York, I can put product in bottles then mix up when I arrive
