Yep, had one, it broke!! It's ok if you don't need to plait and I definately didn't get on with it on tails!

 

[treacle_beastie]

used one - ok on tails if you keep going but turned mane into thin spiky horrible mane - I wouldn;t recommend it for the mane!

I use one on my mares mane with a solo comb.

I put the mane on the wrong side and just drag it through the mane to thin it out a little. My mare had a harrible spikey mane when i got her as she won't let you pull her mane at all!!

I use the solo comb first to shorten and the rake afterwards.

I use mine on both mane and tail (both very thick), like above I comb mane over to wrong side and rake it to thin it then pull it level afterwards - saves no end of pulling time. Mane still plaits brilliantly too

On tail I just gradually work down dock of tail, more to the sides than the front surface and gradually trim it, have to make sure you don't start the top of the comb action at the same place else you get a wedge appear.

Had it since last Burglhe and use it every 3 or 4 weeks, hasn't needed sharpening/blade changing yet

For tails they are ACE! For manes - Not so good, unless u like FRIZZ

Just pull it!

I pull and then use the mane thinning scissors to make it shorter if I need too. (allthough I think I use them differently to how you are supposed to)

that gadget can just make things worse if overused!
