 I don't care for that brush giving mine away.
I have tender fingers anyway where I felt if it was going to bother me 
it would bother the dog.
I just use the slicker brush getting the hair out.
Giving the hair to the birds.
They love to do a nest.
If you wish a rake would do the same, it looks like a comb you could 
run threw your hair loll.
