Slickers do remove undercoat, but a good slicker will not damage your dog's coat. Reading in a groomer's forum, the two most popular slickers are Les Poochs and Doggyman. I no longer carry the Les Pooch in my store, but I do have the Doggyman, which is considerably less $$.
If your pup has really tight mats, you are going to have to carefully detangle those. I use a detangler (Pet Silk Silk Serum or simple corn starch) and the tail of a rat tail comb (from Mimimomo at her site toplinepet.com)

Thanks for the info! Unfortunately, I am in Mexico and rarely purchase anything from outside the country due to the customs and shipping charges. But thanks!
