The Three Way Comb is not a replacement for the Original Three Way Comb. This new comb is the state of the art designed to penetrate the thickest of coats down to the skin. It is the most aggressive comb on the market and can be used to fine-tune the removal of undercoat in specific areas. Ideally this comb will be used in maintenance or rough in grooming whereas the Original Three Way Comb is used for finishing. The Gold Series may be too aggressive to smoothly get through a dense coat after activating the Panagenics™ Texture Crystals. Coats with a medium density such as Bichon, Poodles and Terrier Furnishings will not find a better comb to provide maximum lift
