Grooming face

What is the best comb to use to for the face? My dogs always seem to get mats up in the muzzle area, but the nose and my bigger combs seem too big.

I just use a pin brush and it seems to work well (no heads on the pins of course)...we don't show or anything though.
I use my long comb, with the wide and narrow spaced teeth.
I use a comb with reasonably widely spaced teeth.
I do use a pin brush but it seemed to pluu the hair out and cause some red irritation...I have a long comb but it was a bit big for me to handle in one hand and hold the mat in another. Isn't there any smaller type comb to use?
I like this 5" comb-

It has rounded stainless steel teeth that rotate.
Jacki, thanks for that site. I like the comb and I like some other goodies too! Looks like a great supply site. :)

I bought one similar to this several years ago but it was made by Chris Christiansen & is all 1 piece & metal. I paid $32.00 for it from 1 of the vendors at a show but it has been worth it. I can't seem to find it online but those of you who are more computer savvy might be able to find it.
I have 2 similar to that one, Marilyn, and I hate them. :(
I guess I just like the teeth directly under where I am holding onto the comb :wink:
That's why they make all that stuff - for all our quirks!
:D

back in the day, when I had long hair, I had one of those combs. They are brutal. It caught my hair in it - in the spaces that allowed the pins to spin. It was good in theory, but the most painful device I ever used on my hair.

I know what you mean. A greyhound comb is still my comb of choice. I only use this one on the muzzle & if I want to thin out the neck & shoulder area without using a stirpper. Another reason my tack box & contents are probably worth more than my van! :lol:
I'M NEW TO THIS BREED. FRANKIE LOVES TO DRINK, HE WILL PRACTICALLY LAY IN HIS WATER BOWL. HIS CHIN IS ALWAYS WET, I NOTICED YESTERDAY IT HAS A LITTLE ODER TO IT. IT IS ALSO ALWAYS A REDISH BROWN COLOR. MY DOG WALKER TELLS ME HE IS YEASTIE. HOW CAN I KEEP HIM DRY? I HAD HIS BEARD TRIMED SHORTER AND IT STILL GET DRIPPY.

Try spilless bowls. It doesn't eliminate all water but it'll help keep his beard from getting soaked and stinking so much. You can always use a little cornstarch to help absorb moisture.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!

I TRIED THE SPILL LESS WATER BOWL. IT'S GREAT FRANKIES FACE STAYS ALOT DRIER.
