Chris Christensen 9.5-Inch Coarse Poodle Butter Comb for Dense Coat Detangling

Chris Christensen’s 9.5 in (24.13 cm) Coarse Poodle Butter Comb is a professional dog-grooming comb made to detangle and lift dense coats, with widely spaced 1.25 in (3.175 cm) teeth.

• Rounded, ground pin tips — help reduce friction and coat breakage as the comb moves through hair.
• Solid brass core, stainless steel teeth and nickel chrome finish — define the comb’s construction.
• For dense, curly, double and long coats — reaches into coat types where tangles can develop close to the skin.
• Detangling, fluffing and finishing uses — supports coat maintenance as well as shaping before scissoring.
• Handcrafted by Chris Christensen, a grooming brand crafting products since 1996 — reflects its professional and dog-show grooming heritage.

Dense curls, double coats and long, full coats can hide tangles beneath the surface, making routine grooming more demanding. This coarse comb is designed for working through those coats, checking completed brush work and lifting hair for a fuller finish. It can also help owners maintain coat condition between professional grooming sessions.

What coat types and grooming tasks is this comb made for?

The Chris Christensen Coarse Poodle Butter Comb is designed for heavy, dense coats, including curly, double, long rustic and scissored coats. Its teeth are longer than average and widely spaced, so they can pass deeply through the coat toward the skin, where mats and tangles often begin. Working through concealed tangles can help address them before they develop into a solid mat.

Use it to check brush work, work through tangles, or lift coat hair when preparing an even finish before scissoring. The rounded pin ends are ground to move through the coat with less friction and to help prevent breakage.

• Suitable for coat work on Poodles and Doodles with dense, wavy or curly hair.
• Also made to fluff full coats on breeds such as Keeshonds, Samoyeds and Pomeranians.
• Designed for coat grooming, not as a general-purpose comb for people.

How can I use it to add volume or shape a coat?

The comb lifts hair away from the body to create volume and a fluffy appearance. It can also lift the coat while you shape a top knot or prepare hair for scissoring, helping you work toward an even groom.

Groomers use this style of comb for demanding work on large dogs and coats with substantial density or volume. For owners, it offers a way to work through coat between professional grooming appointments, particularly when a dog has a high-maintenance curly or mixed coat prone to matting.

• Lift coat hair for a fuller-looking finish.
• Use to raise hair when working on a top knot.
• Set the coat before scissoring for a more even grooming finish.

What is the comb made from?

The Chris Christensen Buttercomb has a solid brass core with a flat spine, stainless steel teeth and a nickel chrome coating. Each pin is individually ground to give its tip a rounded shape, helping it glide through coat with reduced friction.

The comb is handcrafted, and the Coarse Poodle-style version is item #004 in the Chris Christensen catalog. The brand has made grooming products since 1996 and has a history connected with professional grooming and the dog-show world.

• Solid brass core and flat spine.
• Stainless steel teeth with rounded, ground tips.
• Nickel chrome exterior finish.

This comb is suited to groomers and dog owners working with dense, curly, double or long coats who need to detangle, check brush work or lift hair for finishing. Its long, widely spaced teeth and rounded tips are made for reaching through substantial coats while helping limit friction and breakage.
