Logan, fie on that nasty vacuum cleaner. It must have been time for a new one anyway. My other favorite grooming tool is ye olde flea comb. Works great and grabs lots of hair. The children will also line up for that, but bring out a slicker and they all disappear. Go figure!! By the way, all, most "shedding blades" will break the hair, so caution on their use. Have you tried a "rake"? That might be a useful tool, as well. I look for carpet and furniture that matches the pet hair, that way it's less obvious .
