Safari Self-Cleaning Slicker Brush
4.5
£8-£12
A budget-friendly slicker brush with a push-button self-cleaning mechanism that makes hair removal effortless. Coated stainless steel pins handle everyday detangling and light deshedding for most coat types, though it is not a substitute for dedicated undercoat tools on heavy-shedding breeds.

What we like
+ One-click self-cleaning button reliably retracts bristles to clear collected hair
+ Strong value at the GBP 8-12 price point with wide multi-retailer availability
+ Suitable for routine grooming on short to medium-coated cats
Watch out for
– Wire bristles are sharper than some competitors; may not suit very sensitive cats or young kittens
– Not a dedicated deshedding tool; limited effectiveness on thick double coats
