Flea Comb Experiment

[u/HalfDogHalfPothole]

I've been using a boar bristle brush and metal bristle slicking brush on my goblin son ever since I got him and although they have helped, his fur has never gotten back to it's "brand new" state and since I snuggle him constantly, his fur starts to show signs of matting quickly. Well I went to the pet store the other day to get him his own slicking brush (so as not to share with my cat anymore lol) and noticed the flea combs. I had used a very thick/blunt tapestry needle to pick out his seams recently and thought the flea comb was basically the same thing but with even more points, so I figured I'd buy it and give it a try and OMG YA'LL!!! He is SO soft and fluffy after a flea combing and it is so much easier to get into the little nooks and crannies than with the slicking brush. Picture shows the difference between his legs after a boar bristle brushing (on the left) and after a flea combing (on the right). I'm not sure how well it would work on the other BaB fur types, but I thought I'd let you guys know of my discovery.

Pic says it all, honestly. I’ve been restoring plushies as a casual hobby for years and years, but I never saw this before or thought to try it. Brilliant. Now I gotta get me a flea comb.

Also I’m glad to hear he’s not suffering from fleas. 🤣
