I have to brush Jackson's facial hair every other day or so to get it to look not so messy... you know, his mustache hair, around his muzzle and his bangs, etc.

He HATES it -- he acts like it hurts him, and honestly, it probably does. I try to be as gentle as possible, but I'm sure it doesn't feel good.

He gets tons of treats when we're doing it and tolerates it but I feel bad.

I'm using a brush like pictured below... I bought it when he was a puppy, and I'm not sure it's the best for this.

His hair is always kept short, so body brushing is not a big issue. This will mainly be used for his tail hair and his face. Any suggestions that won't cost a fortune?
