Our favorit economical all round brush is the Artero double side.  One side is soft, the other great for tougher tangles, comes in 2 sizes too!

(Shedding tools)
Andis undercoat rakes are an easy way to help control undercoat with out cutting the top coat as other tools will.  Comes in 2 teeth sizes, wide and fine.  We recommend both on most dogs starting with the wide.

Rubber "Fur-bliss" brush, terrier palm pads(left)https://whitmans.biz/?s=palm+pad&post_type=product&dgwt_wcas=1 and a natural bristle brush(right) https://www.petstore.direct/product/artero-nature-collection-wild-boar-bristle-brush-for-dogs/are essential for getting loose fine coat off after deshedding and carding tools are used.

Classic Carding knives  https://greyhoundcomb.com/product/easy-grip-knives/?v=7516fd43adaa are  tools best for detailed deshed work, please ask us to teach how to use these to help control shedding without damaging skin or coat.  We're happy to teach!
