I have been in learning mode when it comes to the grooming requirements for long hair and discovered that the brush I was using, which had the metal balls on the tips, could cause damage to Lu's coat. I was a bit desperate to get a good brush as quickly as possible.
I suspect I will be getting another in a different color in the not too distant future just in case anything tragic should happen to my lavender one. Always a good idea to have a spare or two hanging around anyway though.
I wondered about the firmness of the oblong? How firm is it in comparison to the small oval lavender? I would get a soft full sized Maden brush if Lu were bigger but brushing her with a full sized brush isn't much fun for either of us. 
You say that the difference in firmness for all the colors of small oval Madan is pretty close to the same? Hmmm so many pretty colors!. . . . 
Oh, I should also mention that the 4.5" Madan face comb is wonderful too! I wondered if I would find it useful or not and I am so glad I decided to order it. Haven't used the tail comb that much yet but suspect it will be quite handy as well. Madan pin brushes and combs will now be staple grooming supplies at my house. It has been so helpful to be able to read reviews from other YT members and learn about the tools and products they use. |
No problem! Glad you got it in the color you wanted.
The Oblongs are significantly firmer then the Small brushes, it's the lack of cushion space, the company told me they couldn't make those any softer. The padding is hard to press w/your fingers & I would recommend it to fur babies that tolerates brushing or those that do not tangle. Some people prefer the oblong shape over the ovals. It's narrow shape is excellent for line brushing & it's long enough to cover ample room. This brush will be a must have if you have a poodle & need to 'fluff' dry him/her.
