So any recommendation for a good soft slicker brush would be appreciated. I have also been known to use my Resco comb or my CC T shaped pin brush. |

I use the slicker, but only after I have brushed through it with the pin brush and can comb through it with my wide tooth comb. (By feet, I assume you mean the lower legs?) |
I use a small Chris Christensen slicker. I tested it by scraping it on my own arm first to make sure it wasn't too abrasive. |
a slicker should be fine, when using it tilt the brush so it only just touches the skin. It sounds like you maybe using it too hard, I only use a slicker every now and then I use the CC brush much more.
The slicker will remove undercoat very quickly so if there's nne there use a softer brush. |
I have a couple All-Systems slickers and they're pretty soft. The softest slicker I know of is the Miller's Forge "Doggyman" slicker: http://www.cherrybrook.com/index.cfm/a/ ... er_Brushes |
I always use a soft slicker from the "wrist" or "ankle" down. The trick alot of times is in how you hold the slicker & to make sure you are brushing against the way the hair lies. Also make sure you are doing "thin" strips at a time. |

I just got one of these a few weeks ago. Tonks is REALLY sensitive to the slicker and the Chris Christensen one was less abrasive than the one we currently have. I also got their wooden pin brush, and its WONDERFUL. It pulls thought their coats very easily, so is a good " first wave" tool. Tonks tolerates the wooden pin brush really well, and then I can move on to slickering. |
