Chris Christensen 005 Greyhound-Style Dog Grooming Comb, 7.5-Inch Chrome with Long Teeth

The Chris Christensen 005 Buttercomb is a Greyhound-style dog grooming comb for styling long and dense coats, with a 7.5-inch (19.05 cm) body and 1.5-inch (3.81 cm) teeth.

• Coarse and medium tooth spacing — switch sides for detangling or fluffing.
• Long teeth — reach through longer coats toward the undercoat.
• Rounded pin tips — help reduce friction and coat breakage as the comb moves through hair.
• Solid brass core, stainless steel teeth and nickel chrome finish — built for regular grooming.
• Hand-finished construction — made for daily salon use, including long, heavy coats.

Long, double, coarse or full coats can need more than a surface-level comb-through. The 005 is designed for coat styling as well as light tangles and debris, with two tooth spacings to suit different finishing tasks. Use it on longer-coated dogs, for Terrier leg styling, or to lift dense and curly coats while working through the hair with reduced snagging.

What coat types and grooming tasks suit the 005 Buttercomb?

The comb is made for breeds with longer outer coats, including long double coats, and for styling dense or full curly coats. Its long teeth can work down into the coat, while the two spacing options help with detangling and finishing. It can also help remove light tangles and debris from similar coated breeds.

• Use it to create columns on Terrier legs.
• Fluff the legs of a Bouvier de Flandres or Briard.
• Add volume to dense coats, including a full Pekingese or Poodle coat.

How do the two sides of this Greyhound-style comb work?

The 005 combines a widely spaced coarse side with a slimmer, closer-spaced side. The wider spacing is intended for detangling longer coats with less pulling, while the closer pins can fluff the coat, especially after brushing. The long, strong teeth reach toward the undercoat without needing to pull through the hair, and the wide spacing helps maintain the coat’s natural texture.

• Choose the coarse side for longer-coated dogs and initial detangling.
• Use the closer-spaced side for fluffing and finishing.

What are the teeth and comb made from?

The comb has a solid brass core, a flat spine and stainless steel teeth, finished with nickel chrome. Each pin is ground with a rounded tip to help reduce friction and breakage and to move through the coat smoothly. The rounded ends are also designed to feel comfortable against the skin during grooming.

• Handcrafted with attention to the finish of each pin.
• Lightweight in use, with a solid construction for repeated salon grooming.

Chris Christensen has been crafting grooming products since 1996, with roots in dog-show grooming. The 005 is intended for professional-style coat work and finishing, including the texture-preserving styling often needed for coarser coats. Its construction is made for daily salon use, including work on long, heavy coats.

What should I know about its size and styling reach?

The comb measures 7.5 inches (19.05 cm) overall, and its teeth are 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) long. Those extended teeth are suited to reaching into longer coats, while the two sides give you different spacing for working through and shaping the coat.

• Catalog item number: 005.
• Designed for coat grooming and styling rather than for removing heavy mats.

The Chris Christensen 005 Buttercomb is best suited to groomers and dog owners working with long, double, coarse, dense or full curly coats who want one comb for detangling and fluffing. Its long teeth, dual spacing and rounded pins support detailed styling while helping preserve coat texture; it is intended for light tangles and debris, not heavy mat removal.
