Which Butter Comb from Chris Christensen do you like?? Combs & Handles
also how important is it to have a handle?

Or is there a different brand you like better?

Need a new comb and need some input! THANKS!!

Sunnie · 07-26-2008, 12:21 PM

I have the one that is 1/2 coarse and 1/2 fine. no handle. I love it

Ladymom · 07-26-2008, 12:48 PM

I have the #000 combination of fine and coarse teeth. I also have the #006 face comb that I couldn't live without!

I use the #008 All Fine Tail Comb for topknots/face for both my girls and as overall body comb for my Gia. She has a silky/cotton combo coat.
I recently purchased their new Staggered Tooth Buttercomb #001 for my Mahli. She has a thick wooly coat that gets tangles really bad. I'm thrilled that this comb works for her very well! I also want to try the #010 All Coarse Tail Comb for Mahli's topknots and see if that'll work better for her than the #008.
I don't know about you all, but I just don't get good enough results from brushes at all with my dogs. I've tried several and do have some CC brushes. Seems like the combs get the job done better IMO.

I said it in the other post.. but I lost a CC comb in NYC..... so i have to buy a new one. I think it was 006. CC has great brushes and combs.. and it is hard to decide... So I hope more people can respond!! And I would love to see which ones everyone uses!

Wylie's Mom · 07-27-2008, 07:02 AM

I LOVE the 006! I almost bought one with a handle and I'm so glad I didn't because when I'm dematting, I can't tell you how many times I flip back and forth very quickly between the fine/coarse with the 006. The 006 has VERY fine spacing (24 per inch) on the fine side, so it really is great for cotton coats and helping pull out teensy mats once you've worked them down using the coarser end of the buttercomb. It really is like getting 2 combs for the price of one.

yorkiesmiles · 07-27-2008, 11:26 AM

Wow, thanks everyone! You have given me a lot to think about - even if I want to have more than of these combs. Mine both have silky coats, so I'm going to have to look at what would be best for them

yorkiesmiles · 07-28-2008, 05:19 PM

just wondering if anyone else wants to comment

Patti · 07-28-2008, 07:53 PM

I have the 006 too and love it. I mainly use the fine side to get out matts. Pixie has a really silky coat and I use the coarse side on her as she doesn't need to be brushed as she has a thinner coat.

I have a CC pin brush and love it...but can someone tell me what is better about the CC combs over another stainless steel comb?

I've got a CC comb, the 012, it's 4-1/2", which fits my hand better. Also, have a teflon coated comb from #1 all systems. I like the CC comb better, it seems to glide through hair easier than even the teflon one. It may be though it's because of the smaller size, it's just a better fit for me.

I do wish I would have got the handle for it, and I will soon!

is it painful to hold without the handle? I'm trying to figure out the benefits of the handle

Izzy Princess · 07-29-2008, 10:29 AM

I love CC combs and brushes and I have the #008/7" all fine tail comb and love, love it. It's great for Izzy's silky coat and for doing awesome top-knots. I use the end of the comb to poof it out.

I love the handle - gives me better control of what I am doing. No it does not hurt my hand at all or get in the way.

I also have a gold tip fushion brush (which I don't use that much - get better results with the comb) and I just got the new #001/6" staggered buttercomb but boy is that one heavy to use. I still go back to my #008.

Izzy Princess · 07-29-2008, 10:36 AM

Oh and I have the #006 too for face/feet and it's awesome. You can't go wrong investing in a CC brush/comb..it will last you a lifetime.

No it's not painful at all, it can be awkward though. My yorkies are on the small side and my hand isn't very big either. So, I got the shorter length to fit both better. It just needs the handle on top for something to hold on to.
