Our Longest Pin Slicker Brush for All Coats (including Delicate Coats)!

"For ALL Coats: The Big A”
All Breeds, All Coats, All Groomers!
When we say “All,” here’s what we mean:

All Breeds: Perfect for all long-coated breeds that require grooming (pin length should match our recommendations for coat length, see below for “Which Slicker for My Breed?”).
All Coats: Advantageous for all coated breeds(excluding smooth coats).
All Groomers: Designed with versatility in mind, the Big A is gentle enough for novice groomers to use confidently without risking coat damage. At the same time, it provides the efficiency and quality that seasoned groomers need, especially those who struggle with hand fatigue or discomfort.

The Big A is built to accommodate a wide range of grooming needs with ease and comfort.

The Chris Christensen Big A Slicker Brush also known as “The Soft”, is designed to provide a gentler, more effective grooming experience for all long coats. Named in honor of Allison Alexander, this brush marries the two worlds she represents so beautifully: the exacting standards of the prestigious dog show arena and the superior quality of Chris Christensen grooming tools.
Increased Spacing Preserves Coat Integrity
The Big A’s innovative design incorporates increased spacing between the pins, retaining all the beloved features of the Big G and the Big K while introducing enhanced softness for gentleness and superior ergonomics. Strategically increased spacing between the pins enables smoother, more efficient brushing while maintaining exceptional performance and gentleness. This carefully crafted spacing ensures a more comfortable grooming experience, making the Big A ideal for preserving coat integrity and reducing fatigue.
Softness = Enhanced Ergonomics
The brush’s softness offers enhanced gentleness, reducing wrist fatigue for the groomer. Its delicate design makes it ideal for novice groomers, ensuring they can groom without risking damage to the coat. At the same time, it remains a highly efficient and premium tool, perfectly suited for professional groomers who experience significant hand fatigue or discomfort. With its innovative design and unparalleled gentleness, the Big A ensures coat preservation without compromising on performance.
A Tribute to Excellence
Designed with precision and care, this brush meets the demands of dog show enthusiasts and professional groomers while offering the quality expected from Chris Christensen grooming products. Made in Germany with the highest quality materials, every detail reflects Allison Alexander’s legacy and our shared commitment to preserving the beauty and integrity of show coats. This is not just a grooming tool—it is a tribute to the professionals, enthusiasts, and show dogs who embody the pinnacle of excellence.

Increased Pin Spacing: Strategically increased spacing between the pins enables smoother, more efficient brushing while maintaining exceptional performance and gentleness. Penetrates the coat deeper and more effectively.
Less Pulling: The wider spacing between the pins on the Big A allows hair to flow more freely between the pins instead of being compacted or tightly pulled. Ensures a more pleasant brushing experience for your dog.
Fatigue-Reducing Design: Reduced pin density and softness minimize effort during grooming sessions.
Versatile Use: Particularly effective on almost all coat types: Scissored Coats, Double Coats, Wire Coats, Setter/Spaniel Coats (i.e. Poodles, Bichons, and American Cocker Spaniels).
Professional, Show, and Home Use: Perfect for professional groomers, dog show enthusiasts, and at-home groomers.
Undercoat Removal: Efficiently removes thick undercoat; the spacing of the pins allows you to move through thick coats while the long, bent pins grab and remove dead undercoat.
Show Dog Quality: Ideal for maintaining and improving long show dog coats without breakage. Perfect for the dog show enthusiast!
