It works!

This brush works really well! Before (left) and after (right).

I bought this to complement my smaller cheaper slicker brush. This brush is very sturdy, and the bristles are extremely firm.Pros:This brush is large and sturdy, so it is easily able to brush through large amounts of thick wools like sheep and llama. So far, this brush has stood up to some aggressive use and left my wools nice and fluffy. It's also a good size for cats.Cons:I believe that this brush is overpriced, but without a decent quality comparison, I'm unable to say if this price tag is to be expected. The bristles are very firm, which is a con for delicate fibers like huacaya alpaca. While it can brush through it, you have to take much greater care not to tear the fibers. As with any brushing, the brush will also remove some amount of wool, so it might be too aggressive on a thinner wool product. The last con is that this is too big to fit into sheepskin boots like Uggs, so it will not work for that purpose.Overall, this brush is a great addition to a wool brushing kit, but it won't work for smaller/more delicate projects.

Where have these been all my life? We purchased a couple of beautiful, charcoal-gray (dyed) sheepskin rugs for both sides of our bed. It used to feel really nice to get out of bed and set your feet onto them. But after many years and a couple of dogs, now my reaction to putting my feet down is, "Ew. What the heck did I just step on?"Because of the dye, we can't just wash them or get them too wet. And I'm kind of lazy and forgetful. (Meaning, I've been thinking of taking them to a dry cleaner for years—but how much will that cost?) But after our puppy had an accident (the worst kind of accident) on one, I knew I had to do something. These rugs weren't cheap, so tossing them wasn't an option.I cleaned up the "accident" as best I could, but that left the spot feeling kind of dry and crunchy. And honestly, did I even get everything out? So after reading and googling, I decided to try one of these wire wool brushes. HALLELUJAH! It took some muscle to thoroughly brush each rug, but wow, not only did it re-fluff and revive the wool, it pulled up a lot of loose dirt and anything that was stuck to the fibers. I did have to keep cleaning off the brush (from all the fibers and dirt that accumulated), but that's super easy. No different than my own hair brush.I really wish I had gotten this brush sooner!

I got my sheepskin years ago from Costco, LOVED it, but after years under the house, I thought if I can't wash it, I may as well trash it, it was a MESS. So I washed and dried it clean, brushed 1/4 of it with this brush and was amazed. I had tried brushing it before with an expensive special metal dog brush to get the undercoat out, tried a few other brushes, NOTHING worked, but this brush made it so much easier! I washed it with a hose and um....shampoo and conditioner, (wince) which the label originally said to NEVER WASH. And I loved the smell of the conditioner but my hair wouldn't stay curly after using it, so I figured it was perfect, didn't want the sheepskin all curly either. So happy with this! Now if only my puppy would hold still so I could use it on his lamby fluff too!
