Hm, I've never had a shedding blade. Does it work okay on tight-coated breeds? Like a catahoula for instance? Tehe.

Right now we have a double sided bursh. It's a pin brush on one side and a soft plush on the other. We had an undercoat rake and I LOVED it (except that fact that it made Timber's hair staticcy (sp?) and the hair always fell out of it), but it dissappeared. I have to buy a new one. I remember when we first got it and Timber chewed half of the handle off lol. Our brushes keep dissapearing..
