Mason Pearson Brush. Would You Even Admit It?

Oh dear...are these even more expensive than the CC brushes? And I thought I was over the top having 3 of them!

Smudge....I've got 20 mm and 35 mm. I thought the 35mm would be great on Bacca's coat because his is longer and finer than Indy's - who's is thick and short. I found the opposite. The 35mm is great on Indy and the 20mm is best on Bacca. I suppose the perfect compromise is the 27mm...hmmm...maybe that's next.
 
My mother bought mine for me when I was 16. This is my brush for my hair and I still have it! We won't discuss how many years I have been using this!

McKinley has a regular ol' Petco $10 brush!

I could be wrong (and I might be), but I'm thinking I have the 20 mm. I am in the market for a longer one, because when I brush Smudge it's pretty much a joke.

We'll see. I should be getting my Christmas money to spend in a few weeks from the parental units. Hehehehe. :biggrin2:
 
To those of you who have the MPs, what kind do you have? I admit I've looked at them (and would love to add one to my arsenal) but I'm unsure about which one is best for Sheltie coats. Do you like the all-bristle or the mixed nylon/bristle one? The pocket size is *almost* within my I'm-Really-Not-Crazy price range. :eek2: Heck, it's only half a week's groceries...we can eat hot dogs... :rolleyes2:

Ours is mixed bristle/nylon... I don't know if all-bristle would be able to get through Sheltie hair.
 
I have a Mason Pearson. The junior size nylon and bristle. With the MP you have to line brush well in order to get down to the skin if you are using for a do everything brush. It does very well for smoothing the coat and with the boar bristles adds shine and stimulates the hair follicle. I use it every time I brush. What is really great about this brush is for show and for brushing up the ruff as it doesn't get deep down into the hair and have you mistakenly brush out the products you so carefully added.

Here's a link for those who may be interested in purchasing. Pricing is a good ten dollars less than the local beauty salon. http://wicketsbymel.com/cart/mason-pearson-brushes-c-20.html

I had a typo -- I meant over $100. They cost a fortune! I'm going to London in the spring -- maybe I should look there.
 
Hhhmmmm! Boar Bristle brushes....now that's something I DON'T have in my arsenal of torture tools for the boys!

Should I consider it a "finishing" brush?
 
Ann and I saw them at the Cherrybrook booth this past weekend. The full size brush was $180.00! Wow. I think we paid $110 about 20 years ago.
