Solo Comb Or Tail Rake

[tjmadron]

Thinking of investing in something to help take the strain out of pulling tails.

Which would you recommend ? I am left handed would this be a problem when using either of these ??

I don't think you can do tails with solo combs. I use a tail rake; so easy!

Second tail rake - dont know what I did without one! Can use it on manes too for thinning but need a solo comb if trying to take some of the length off.

another vote for the tail rake! buster is a TBxShire and he has unfortunatly inherited the shire tail! id be lost without it!

personally i use a solo comb as dont have a tail rake
take the cover off the solo comb, just leaving the blades, then slightly close the blades, and run down the side of the tail, 'shaving' the tail as you go down
i find it works a treat

Tail rake, I use the 'Smart Tails' ones. Being a lefty won't make any difference to its use. -

The sides were done with Medium & Fine rakes (done a bit further down since this pic was taken) and the middle was done with Coarse and Medium rakes. Just take a bit out at a time (especially if you want it to still appear full, but tidier). This was the 1st time I had ever used a tail rake and was a full tail when I started!!!
