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.

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 book will make a difference in your presentation.
Format: Paperback
If you rely on Powerpoint-like presentation in your work, get Cliff Atkinson's Beyond Bullet Points. I had determined that improving my company's presentations had potentially very high returns so I started poking around the net and Amazon for resources to help. At first, I struck out with books that were supposed to improve presentations, but ended up being guides on technically how to use Powerpoint. That was NOT what I was looking for. Beyond Bullet Points is very different. It is a philosophy about creating presentations whose purpose is to communicate a story, not dump information. Frankly, it was not intuitive for me so I had to decide to just trust that it would work. When I was about ¾ finished, I started to really "feel" what I was doing. And, to my surprise, the most unlikely people really liked the result. In a world where most business and how-to books are nothing more that restating what you already know (or, what you know isn't true), this one is an exception. I highly recommend it!

Presentations with the audience in mind
Format: Paperback
I bought this hoping it would be a guide to creating Big-3 Consulting-style slides with fancy diagrams and eye-catching graphic design. That is not what this book is. Instead, this book is about how to tell a story with slides, using the framework of a five act drama. With this method forcing you to focus on who your audience is, what they need to know, and how much time you have to tell them (as opposed to trying to shoehorn everything you know about a subject into your pitch) you end up with a presentation that finishes on time for intelligent questions from an engaged audience. Since buying the book I have given several well-received presentations using precisely that technique. With no words on screen there is no temptation to just read the bullet points, and the audience cannot think ahead of you and must instead listen to what you're saying. You have to know your material to use this method, but when you succeed your audience will be impressed with your knowledge of the subject matter. (If you're working in a group project and want to Blue Falcon a non-contributing teammate, try giving them a few of these slides to speak to.) The recommended slide format is one picture and one headline per slide, with no bullet points at all. The book suggests creating Notes Pages with an outline of your talk as a handout, since the slides themselves don't stand alone. (And that's a good thing--visual aids are supposed to *augment* the presentation, not *be* the presentation.) In conclusion, this book might not be for everyone, but it was exactly what I needed.

An outsider's view
Format: Paperback
When it comes to Cliff Atkinson's Beyond Bullet Points, I am a bit of an outsider. I don't read many computer books and, while I have worked with PowerPoint, my presentations are very simple. Since I admittedly use my share of bullet points in these presentations, I thought learning about an alternative approach would be useful. And while there are definite benefits to reading this book, it may not be perfect for everyone. Many people use bullet points in their PowerPoint presentations; this can be a great way to organize thoughts, but Atkinson has a difference approach. Essentially, the Beyond Bullet Points method treats presentations as stories told in three "acts." Act One develops the story, Act Two develops the action and Act Three frames the resolution. Each act is broken down into scenes which provide the details. The first portion of the book explains how to work with each act; the second portion deals with the evolution from initial outline to final presentation. This book assumes a certain amount of PowerPoint knowledge; if you want to learn about the application, this is not the place to start (on the other hand, you don't need to be a PowerPoint expert). One of the nicest things about Atkinson's approach is the way he allows presentations to be pared down to fit the time frame required: his method is designed best with a 45 minute presentation, but it can be easily compressed to a 15 minute or even 5 minute presentation. Another nice thing is that he has a website that readers can access that provides some helpful materials such as template documents. On the other hand, Atkinson treats the issue of bullet points/no bullet points as something of a black-and-white issue. He doesn't really acknowledge that there may be a middle ground where bullet points should be used in certain situations, perhaps even in conjunction with his approach. I think it's more appropriate to view the Beyond Bullet Points as an alternative approach to PowerPoint presentations, not the ONLY approach. Atkinson's writing style is straightforward, and like many computer books, a little dry. But as stated earlier, I am reading this book with something of an outsider's view. This is a good book, but Atkinson's inability to look beyond his own approach keeps it from being a five-star work. Nonetheless, if you do a lot of PowerPoint presentations, there is enough useful material in here to merit a read.

A Refreshing Approach to Presentations
Format: Paperback
I ran across this book while researching a college workshop on perfecting presentation, dealing with public speaking and effective use of PowerPoint. As one who has suffered through numerous electronic slides that did little or nothing to augment the speaker's efforts, I was delighted to see this fresh and innovative approach. I believe this process works best, however, when one's speech is primarily persuasive in nature. Although these ideas helped me set up a strong introduction and conclusion, in a recent lecture I resorted to bullet points for the material I felt the students had to master. Perhaps as I get more used to Atkinson's technique, I'll better about using it in lecture. However, the business applications seem quite worthwhile. My students' workshop presentations that used his techniques were highly engaging. I highly recommend this book and the supporting web site.
