Chris Christensen 504 Greyhound-Style Butter Comb – 8.5 in, Fine/Coarse Teeth, Pro Show Grooming

Meet the Chris Christensen 504 Greyhound-Style Butter Comb

Designed for precision finishing, the 504 Buttercomb pairs a lightweight Greyhound-inspired form with a solid brass core, stainless steel teeth, and a high-quality nickel chrome finish. At 8.5 inches, it sits comfortably in the hand, gliding through coats with minimal effort and maximum control. The comb’s rounded tips reduce friction, helping to protect delicate hairs while delivering a smooth, even motion during grooming sessions.

The 504 model features both fine and extra-fine teeth, tailored for fine and continually growing coats. It’s especially effective for dogs with silky, thin coats—such as Maltese, Shih Tzu, and Yorkie—where neat knots and micro-tangles can arise. In daily care, this tool helps manage new growth and prevent mats, making grooming less daunting for older pets or those with sensitive skin.

Real-world uses and outcomes

Care and maintenance

After use, wipe the comb clean with a soft cloth and store it dry. Periodic inspection of the teeth helps maintain smooth gliding action over time. The nickel chrome finish resists corrosion with proper care, keeping the tool looking professional.
