Update: The Furminator is a great product but I recently learned about the Laube desheding quick change blade. I have told everyone for years to get a Furminator but lets face it. The price is not easy to swallow ( Equine Furminator ) and over the years it's not come down much. It's well worth the price IF you can bring yourself to spend that much on ONE de-shedding tool that is like no other. Well, the Furminator is no longer the only de-shedding blade on the market that works really well. The Laube has the same kind of blade that the Furminator uses (I'm told it's a #40 clipping blade) but at a much more affordable cost. You can buy a "kit" that comes with 1 handle and 3 different size blades (2",3" and 4" wide) plus 2.5" Flea Comb, 3" Skip Tooth Comb and a 4" Finishing Comb that can all be quick changed with the handle for the same price as buying 1 Equine Furminator! The only difference that I know of is that the Furminator has a 5" blade vs the Laube's 4". But your getting 6 tools for the price of one when you buy a Laube! I love my Furminator but as soon as the blade wears out or gets damaged I'm getting a Laube.Sorry Furminator I will miss you. Original Post: This is a friends horse that is being brushed with the Furminator for the first time. He is sweaty from just standing in his pen with his winter coat on. She was brushing him slow and pulling the hair out of the comb so I could get it on video. The curry didn't take any hair off him because he was sweaty ...
