When Smudge was a high-volume shedder, I'd use a Shed'N Blade and follow behind with a slicker brush. Shed'N Blade is just a loop with one edge zigzagged - I don't know how it lifts all the loose fur out, but it does! And a slicker brush looks like a wool card, a flat rectangle with fine wire bristles; it catches all the fluff before it flies up in the air and sticks to your clothes. Smudge reports that both are also very pleasant to rub an itchy chin on. But now that he's getting a skin & coat supplement and allergy meds, he doesn't really shed that much any more, and prefers a plain human comb.
