Could you use a realy soft babies hairbrush?

When I had rabbits they were both angora so it was lots of grooming with a dog brush (with the metal bristles one side and the bristle bristles the other!!) and a comb.

When I saw the title I thought of my horse who having not been clipped this year is moulting everywhere. Even after a shower I still have black hair on me. On him I used a shedding blade and most of it is out now after 3 weeks of attacking him with it daily
