You can read some reviews at http://www.zooscape.com/cgi-bin/mait...i/questp401039 It will work for a silk coat too, but I use my CC brush (http://www.chrissystems.com/brushes.htm) for them because of the static control effect. You only need the shorter pins (20mm) with a silk coat as there is not much distance between the coat and the skin, but a cotton coat might need the medium (27mm). When it talks about short coat and furnishings it is talking about the distance between the hair from the skin not the length to the ground. I love both brushes! Someone sent this pix in the other day http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...7-28-07019.jpg The brush on the table is a short pin gold series which is great if you are not keeping your dog in oil. The oil will wear off the gold over time. If your dog tends to be sensitive when you brush her either should work but the Isinis Brush is the most gentle. You can get the Isinis in pocket size and I use it when I travel. I use it for pre-bath brushing for the dog shows. The CC brush is also available in the pocket size.

Hope this helped,

I've heard of the Isinis brush before and your post just cinched it for me. I just ordered it online. It's $30 cheaper than the CC brush I was looking at! Only $19.95 CAD for the small 240-B brush from a Canadian supplier (save me any border hassle). Hey, if Tetley doesn't like it, I can always use it on me

This cinched for me as well - Sonya - well done - thanks for taking the time to explain - I have no problem spending the extra dollars when it's quality and won't hurt Izzy - she tolerates the slicker brush that I now have.

for the longest time I couldn't understand all the fuss over these brushes but I finally bought one and now I am asking myself why did I wait so long they are wonderful....I got the buttercomb and I am going to order 2 more for them...well worth the money....

Bella-Boo · 07-31-2007, 12:46 AM

Thanks for all the great information everyone. I am going to order a brush today and can hardly wait to get it.

Tx2Stepn · 07-31-2007, 07:10 AM

I think that you will be happy with either of those brushes! Let me know how you like them when you get em in...

Tx2Stepn · 08-12-2007, 08:57 AM

Did anyone get the new brushes yet? If so, let me know what you think.

Bella-Boo · 08-12-2007, 12:58 PM

Hey everyone, I just got my new brush the other day. I got the Gold series 20mm brush for Bella and I just love it. She is already starting to enjoy being brushed finally. She always hated being brushed before. The brush works great!

Safire · 08-12-2007, 05:10 PM

Just got my Isinis brush in the mail the other day. Finally a brush that doesn't hurt my little guy! He actually seems to be enjoying it except when I try to do his legs (that's a no-no, no matter what I use

). I just find it makes a little bit of static so I spray him with detangler first.

Yorkiedaze · 08-12-2007, 06:08 PM

I bought the 20 mm for Zada who is a silk coated and Azrael who is a cotton coat, and it works beautifully on both. The secret is to find one that gives very easily when you push on the pens. A lady I met at the dog show who shows Yorkies has this brush and told me about it.

Glad it's working for you... spray a little of your anti-stat on the brush before you brush him...

I have that brush and I have to say I really don't like it.The pins seem a little sharp to me and the rubber on mine hs no give at all. I run the pins down my arm and they really feel rough.

Morkie4 · 08-13-2007, 08:03 AM

I finally broke down and bought the 27mm gold series CC brush as my maltese's hair was 14 inches long and cottony But it also said in the description that it was for "fragile" coats which sort of clinched the idea of getting that brush. My yorkie is in long coat too but has thinner but works fine on him as well. I love the brush and have no regrets in spending the extra for it. But now that I have cut Kallie's hair shorter and Toby's hair is thinner, I am going to buy another brush but still in the gold series group..........maybe even a butter comb.

Izzy Princess · 08-13-2007, 08:17 AM

I just ordered today: the 20mm FUSION BRASS POCKET/TOY PIN BRUSH. I hope this is the right size for Izzy - she is tiny 2 pounds 5 oz and has the silky coat. I'll post how we like it once we get it.

Bella-Boo · 08-13-2007, 08:38 AM

Where do you find the butter comb at? I looked on a couple different sites and I bought my Gold series one from Needsndesires.com but I didn't see a buttercomb on there or the other sites I have looked. Is it called something else? Maybe I'm not looking for the right thing. Also, what is the butter comb used for?
