There's a big difference actually. A pin brush does not have bristles at all, just straight pins that stick straight out from a curved rubber pad. A slicker brush has densly packed, bent (at almost 90 degree angle at the tip) bristles and a square head. The pin brush is designed to glide through the hair whereas the slicker is meant to grab hair. Slickers are often used on dogs with fur (not hair) to pull out dead hair but YOU DON't want to be pulling hair out of a Yorkie - since its hair and not fur and well, first of all that would hurt and second it takes forever for the hair to grow back. Remember the more hair on the brush the less on the dog!
