I answered in a separate post your question about the Isinis and detangling. Yes, I think it is fantastic! | |

| What makes the Isinis so good? Is it similar to the CC wood pin brush?

Nylon bristles do not sound appealing, but it is nothing like the nylon bristle brushes at the drug store. The pad gives like the Madan and the bristles really separate the hair and get down to the skin. Maximo is 5 days out from his last bath and his hair was windblown and messy from wrestling. The Madan would not go through his hair without pulling (so I stopped), but the Isinis glided through it (I did a big no-no by brushing dry, dirty hair just for testing purposes). Quote:

I don't know how one of these would be with boar bristles, but I have the CC boar bristle brush and it is a must have!! It's the perfect finishing brush - it really smooths the hair and leaves such a terrific shine.

Thank you for the recommendation of the CC boar bristle brush! Now I'll just have to have one. I was reading your post about what you use for the face -- are the CC combs heavy? I have one of the metal Madans and it works great, but it is so heavy and long that I find it a bit unwieldy -- and the ends are sharp, which makes me nervous around the face. I also have a Madan rattail that has a plastic comb -- is that the one you use? Usually I resort to a little metal double-sided comb that I ordered from GW Little, but the quality isn't that great and it doesn't work as well I would like. Any other suggestions for the face would be appreciated. | |

I also have the CC Rattail comb, but I like the Madan better. I don't know why, but I do. The one I mentioned before was the Madan rattail - I use it a lot like I said because of sectioning off top-knots and it does really well getting out any eye goop. But, when I really want a good face grooming I always use the CC buttercomb. I actually use it on their bodies, too. I brush them all over with the Madan, then comb them out with the CC #006, and finish with the CC boar bristle.

Pin brushes are wonderful for the ring, or when a coat has been thoroughly detangled, I use a CC Gold, Madan, and several others, dependent on the coat texture.....but, not for daily brushing.

| I've used the CC boar bristle......but, there is nothing like that Mason-Pearson Boar Bristle.....a bit pricey.....but, oh so worth it. And they last forever. I know my mentor has had hers in her grooming case for about 40 years......
