"I can't say enough good things about this brush, it's wonderful... Removes Hair, Debris, Bugs, Fleas, everything except healthy growing hair... The brush holds the hair until you're ready to remove it... once you do the pad of hair rolls off easily, and stays matted together keeping hair from going everywhere... The wire bristles can be abrasive on sensitive areas, but I pay attention to what I'm doing and it's never been a problem... I've been using this style brush for 10+ years and don't have any intentions of changing... my last on just wore out after years of abuse."
