Couldn't believe my luck!
 

So I've been going back and forth between Madan pin brushes and Chris Christensen's wood pin brush. Well, I found a retailer that sold CC brushes and decided to stop by today. They were just closing but let me in anyway. The shop had only one CC wood pin brush left and a couple CC Buttercomb Face/Feet.

Their wood pin brush was $29.99 and their Buttercomb was $36.99. I knew they were more expensive in the store than online ($25 for the pin brush and $27 for the Buttercomb online). I was wondering if it was worth leaving and buying online and paying for shipping when I found out they were both 50% off! They were trying to get rid of everything for the end of the year (I'm not sure why because it's not like CC products go out of style). So I paid under $40 for the pin brush, the comb and a small spray bottle! Soo happy!

They didn't have Ice On Ice, so I used distilled water and brushed Addie today.
All this time I've been using the pin brush that I got from Addie's previous owner (a cheap one that I recently learned scratched her skin), not realising there was a difference in brushes.
When I brushed Addie with the cheap brush, I always had a lot of hair come out and stick to the brush. I just figured that was normal.
With the CC, very little hair came out! And Addie didn't try to bite the brush like she always does. I am so happy with my purchase, and Addie looks great!

So if any of you are using a cheap brush, I would strongly recommend you getting a Madan or a CC pin brush. You won't regret it!

I have 3 Chris brushes and I love them all. I have a wooden brush, a fusion brush that I use for shows and a gold brush. The gold brush I use for day to day, it is very soft and I love it. The only other brush I use is a good natural boar bristle brush (I don't remember the brand). It distributes the natural oils really well.

I am so glad I finally got a good quality brush. Addie gets nicer things than I do, it seems. :)

Great deal!! I love my CC brushes and butter comb. I have the pin brush and the wooden pin brush. The wooden one is great for geting mats out.

I'm amazed the quality of brushes makes such a difference! I would have absolutely paid full price for them, but I'm super thankful I didn't have to. :D
