Grooming supply necessities for oes?

Hi, I've had my very first oes dog for 5 days now he is 6 months old. I've been grooming him everyday for 1-2 hrs and he keeps getting more and more mats. I am using the brushes I have for my Persian cat and keep wasting so much time reading about different grooming tools and i am lost now on what order and what length brand etc. If someone with experience could please give me a list of must have grooming supplies it would be greatly appreciated. He has coarse/ wavy textured hair at the roots that gets so tangled, and I really want to try to keep his fur long. Thank you

people posted Carl's website and guide for grooming were on her other posts.
Thank you, very helpful for most of my brushes/ combs today and the pin brush makes grooming so much easier!! Ordering crown royal3 and isles of dog 63 spray online, and then I think I will be all set..aside from my back and neck ouch, now I see why so many of you have a grooming table!!
I don't know what other links have been posted, I really didn't take the time to
look.
Can I just say I think it is very important for you to learn to line groom right now
because you haven't had the matt fairy yet. You think he's knotting at the skin now?
This is only the beginning. But it will get much better.
Line grooming is VITAL if you want to keep the coat. Extremely important to learn it
now. GREAT for you that you have been able to spend so much time grooming- wonderful.
Just make sure your dog gets something good out of it, because they never forget if it's
unpleasant.

It's gets worse than this yikes!! I don't think his former owner brushed him very often as he was living in her back yard. and had lots of spots where matts were cut out and still had a lot of Mats left around his hips legs and face. I am hoping once he is completely Matt free it will be a quick line brushing once a day. I have read Carls article on line brushing a few times and am following his technique, kids are off to school and its more demating time for me!! I use to have a bulldog that had a fused tail and needed to be wiped after going #2, after a year or so he became tail shy and aggressive when he needed to be wiped off so the vet removed his tail. I wonder of this ever happens with oes dogs and grooming?
