Madan brushes: soft, med, or hard?
 

What is your preference for Madan brushes: soft, medium, or hard?

What kind of coat does your little one have?

i like the soft----maddie has a silky coat:thumbup::thumbup: the dark blue one is the one i use!

I have a regular soft (baby blue) and a small medium soft.

Beamer has a silky coat

`BUMP`

I need to buy a brush for Max and not sure what to get. Anyone else have an opinion? I think Max is going to have a silky coat.

My pups have all kinds of coats. :p They range from very silky/never tangles to cotton/modified that can really mat up.

I LOVE the green Madan brush that I got from Jenny. I'm sorry I don't remember the softness of it, but it works great on the entire range of coats in my house. I definitely recommend the green one. :thumbup:

Here's the site: toplinepet.com

The green is very soft. I can't believe it's this difficult for me to pick a brush!:rolleyes:

I forgot to mention, I also have the small pink brush and love it too. I don't use it as much for regular grooming but I honestly can't tell much of a difference between it and the green brush. I'd love to order the orange brush which came out after I already had my green one, but I just don't need another. Still, I'm tempted..... :rolleyes:

Oh, and for anyone who hasn't ordered from Jenny before she is AWESOME (Jenny is Toplinepet.com)!!

I can:D I ended up PM'ing Jenny and going with her recommendations which I am very happy with:)

I have the orange one, which is soft.

I got a hand painted one.. and i thought it was just ADORABLE!

Soft Madans are the right ones for single coated breeds like Yorkies, Maltese, etc.

Thanks. I just placed an order.

i just placed an order, too. thanks to YT i am spending lots of money and enjoying every minute of it. lol

the sellers of madan brushes here (in the philippines) i told me that there is no difference between colors for the brushes...

I have a black Madan and a light blue and they are very different in how much the padding/pins give way going through the hair.

Ok I am guilty of using my dogs brush for myself!!!! LOL I am going to have to order a couple more!

I actually want to have one for a couple rooms in the house because it seems whenever someone if laying around being content, I always think what a great time to brush and then I have to get up and find it! :p

What is the extra long Grey pinbrush recommended for? I just noticed that one.

i used the extra long pins for poms

I have a blue and a pink. Max has fine silkier hair and I use the blue on him.. Mia has thick cotton hair and I use the pink on her. There is definately a difference in the brushes. :thumbup:

Jenny is AWESOME to buy from! :thumbup::thumbup:

what do you think of your black one?

This is odd.

Judging from this thread, I am the oddball who likes the black brush. My boys have nice, silky hair and the black brush moves flawlessly through it. The light blue (soft brush) pulls for me too much. I prefer the stiffer brush.

I didn't call you an oddball. Just odd. :D:D:D I understand why you like it.

I've been M.I.A. for some time!
 

I also prefer the firmer brushes. The soft ones have a lot of give & the pins also move, so what you're feeling while you're brushing is the movement of the pins. It's not pulling the hair, but gliding through it & can miss some tangles. It's that soft. I like using it to do a final brush through to really bring out the shine.
If your fur baby tolerates brushing, the firmer ones are excellent for brushing out tangles. Mimi becomes a tangled mess whenever she wears a harness, that's everyday bc she loves going for walks lol. I simply spray some CC Ice on Ice (or any good conditioning spray) directly on the tangles & brush her out w/a small Madan brush. It's fantastic. I have new colors available in my site.:)

Momo doesn't like brushing, & if I use the small ones, he'll try to attack it. But if I use the softest blue one, he'll just stand there. Like I mentioned earlier, it does glide through tangles, so I have to go in w/a comb & work them out. Sometimes it's best to just cut it if, bc he won't stand long enough for me to work it out lol. He's such a wiggly worm & so sensitive. He's also got the fast growing, thick, cottony, tangles easily hair, so I keep him in a short cut.

If anyone needs help picking out a brush or if you have any questions (no purchase necessary! lol), please PM me & I'll be happy to assist you.

Thank You everyone for the awesome recommendations & referrals!:D

I know you didn't call me an oddball. By the way, I prefer to be called eccentric. ;););)

Great to have you back Jenny!

Anyone looking for brushes and other grooming products -- Mimimomo's customer service is excellent.

I second that:):)

I like that!
