greyhound brushes...which one?
|
|
| I copied willowsprite a few years ago and got the comb she recommended, but I would need a link to point to one. It was wide toothed on one side, and very thin on the other (hope the wording is right??). Still my favorite! |
| I like Chris Christensen (we have the 27 mm) and Hindes. I like the All Systems as well but it seems a bit sharper to me. It's the newest brush I have so it may be that it's still a little stiff. |
| I think you are referring to a greyhound comb, the brush you will need is a pin brush. I prefer the #1 AllSystems 27mm pin brush with the black pad.
The comb I use is a resco greyhound comb. It's a combo one, narrower gaps between teeth at one end and wider at the other. |
| I know this is an old post - you were looking for a Greyhound Brush - They are made - If you know Chris Pesche - she uses them and loves them.
The large long pin 27mm is the WTG |
| I saw the Greyhound pin brushes at a show recently. Maybe Chicago? Found a link but know nothing about this vendor: https://www.securewebexchange.com/pupul ... 12e144fba0 |
| WOnder how it compares to the Christiansen? I am hard on brushes and will need another new one sometime this year. |
| Yes there is a Greyhound Brush - I noticed your threads. The link you gave does not sell them any longer and they were in Canada.
I am the manufacturer and if you wish to purchase any Greyhound Brush or combs we do have an online store for those who do not have a vendor close to them. We ship within the USA by UPS ground and Internationally via the Post Office. There are two types of brushes the Signature Black & Silver or the Engraved Natural Wood Brush (there are several drawings to choose from). There is also free engraving during November which will make nice Christmas gifts. Here is the web address: www.ashleycraig.net or www.greyhoundcomb.com |
| Hello Manufacturer....
Here's your chance -- how do your brushes and combs stack up against the competition? What makes them better? |
| I have just noticed your post from some time back so apologise for not seeing it sooner. We are very proud of our Greyhound brushes. Our factory in the UK has been making the Greyhound comb since 1920 - we were approached on many occasions to make a brush. If we were going produce a product it has to be made from scratch using the best of the best. We traveled to Germany where the best brushes are made and met with several factories. I designed the new style handle which in longer than your regular handle, this is so it will not dig in your palm in addition it will counter balance the weight of the head of the brush as the older style brushes are top heavy making your wrist ache after a while. The longer handle benefits both small and large hands as you can hold it anywhere very comfortably. Now to the pin pad. I was tired of owning brushes that pins went in after very few uses. The structure of the pad is very important as the rubber is the only thing holding them in. I bought all the pin brushes on the market I could get my hands on and pulled them apart to find a very thin layer of bonding on the back - the bonding helps to hold the pins in place. In most cases the rubber was thin too and the bonding sparse. Rubber softens after several uses to to begin with a better quality rubber and better quality bonding would help hold the pins in place. We put 3 layers of bonding and used a special surface pad that wil help stop the hair slipping through when drying. The new brush range was born in 2005 and has been extremely popular. Brush care is very important if you want to prolong its life. Try not to soak in in water or on a soaking wet dog - water will get under the pad and will cause the bonding to soften using it at that time will encourage the pins to go in. Hot hairdryers and direct sunlight - the heat will cause the bonding to soften. Yes it will dry and yes it will cool and get hard again but if you constantly abuse it with water or heat eventually the bonding will break down and crumble away leaving nothing to hold your pins in the pads. The life time of a brush should be at around 5 years if cared for. Rubber does degrade after time and five years is about the time it starts to degenerate. I |
