I used to swear by my boars hair brushes but they seem to fluff the hair so much.
But if hey if it doesn't bother your dog to use it and it is less damaging sounds like a good deal. I personally haven't had an issue with hair breakage issue with my bead headed pin brushes but that's a good thing to know, I'll really be watching for it now. |
Was the pin brush a Madan pin brush? The Madan pins are beveled, so if you run it up & down your arm, it doesn't hurt or scratch. It really feels like it's massaging your scalp while brushing because the cushion is soft & the pins move while you brush.
As far as the ball tipped brushes, the hair can get caught in it & break. But if your fur baby likes it & it works for you, then it's all good.
