The Mark VIII Round Slicker is a unique slicker with a round head, designed to not leave lines when brushing. It also helps remove brush lines and is a great styling tool. Our Mark Series slickers are made with lightweight beechwood, like our Original Series, with scratch free pins, and an ergonomic handle, that are comfortable for you and your dog or cat.
What brush you choose if a very personal preference. As a general rule the longer the coat the longer the pin in the brush you should use. The coarser the coat the firmer the pad of the brush should be and the softer the coat the softer the pad of the brush should be. In general, a pin brush is for everyday use and general maintenance, while slickers reach down to remove loose undercoat.
Slicker brushes also vary in size and shape, but the one thing in common is that the pins are always bent. Slickers are great for getting out finer hairs, creating volume and getting a smooth finish .Slickers are not usually used on drop-coated breeds, except for the short leg hair. For ears, tail or topknot only use slickers for last 10% of drying process to avoid taking out too much coat
