New brushes!
  When I was at the recent Land O'Lakes KC show in St Paul, I was just there to visit friends and SHOP! It's the best vendor show we have  I bought 2 new brushes, and I really like both of them. The 1st is a remake of one I already had and liked.....had, as in it's Missing  It's the wood pin Chris Christenson, now available with the wooden handle part dipped in a light coating of a nice grippy rubbery stuff. I like it - less hand fatigue. I was actually planning on just replacing it w/ the original all wood one, but I do like it better. It's the pink one in the pictures below: (The comb is just in there for scale)    Then for the totally new one - the red one. It's made by Pure Paws, and it's quite interesting. Normally I wouldn't use one with pins that stiff, but they are really rounded (totally smooth) on the ends. I brushed it on my inner forearm, and it's smoother than any other pin brush. And the hand grip was really nice. And the price was good ($18.99), so I decided to gamble and buy it. I took it back to our grooming area, and Sunny and I tested it out on Ruby and Paislee. It was very nice! It really goes through the coat. For show coat, if you use nice narrow rows in your line brushing it doesn't pull any more undercoat out than any other decent pin, but it also picks out those little "popcorns" - those little balls of shed out coat that drive me nuts! Normally you would brush many strokes to get them, or need to grab the slicker to get them out - this brush does it. And I've found for Chewie it does great on the parts where I would pin brush then go through with the wide "butt" comnb, that this brush does it all. (like forelegs, etc) I've looked online, but I can't find it listed. Not even on the Pure Paws site. I wonder if it was some promo item?? I hope not, I want to get another! (PS - in the last picture the pins look like balls on the ends, but it's just the reflection off the rounded tips and my slightly out of focus picture  ) |

I feel so raped by shipping at Cherrybrook that I only want to buy from them at shows. I love the stuff but I feel like no matter what I buy on the site, it's gonna cost me another $15 to get it. |
