I reach for a stainless steel greyhound comb with wide-spaced teeth on one side and finer ones on the other. That wide side gets through the thick undercoat without tugging too much, and I work in small sections to keep the loose fur contained instead of flying everywhere.

The key is a metal comb with rotating teeth, like a Mars Coat King or a similar shedding blade. The rotation lets the teeth glide through the dense undercoat and catch loose hairs without snapping them off, which is what creates that airborne fluff. I work in short, slow strokes and pull the fur out sideways, not up, so it falls in clumps instead of dispersing.

I use a slicker brush with fine, bent wire bristles and a self-cleaning button. The bent wires grab the loose undercoat without scraping the topcoat, and the button lets me eject the fur directly into the trash instead of letting it drift into the air. Short, gentle strokes over a dampened coat keep the flyaway fluff to a minimum.

I start with a rubber curry brush, the kind with nubs, before any comb touches the coat. It lifts the loose undercoat to the surface without cutting or snapping the hairs, so the floof stays trapped in the brush rather than puffing into the air. After that, I follow up with a wide-toothed stainless steel comb just to smooth things out, but the rubber brush does the heavy lifting without the blizzard.
