Not for me, really good, but i found it too bulky, depending on the coat, you cannot beat a good stripping knife.

With regards to using a trimmer or knife and the effect on coat. If for example you were to trim a west highland terrier with a electric trimmer, over time the coat becomes more silky and tangles so much more easily. Using a stripping knife creates much courser hair over time that is easier to brush through and won't tangle as much.

 

Hand stripping a lurcher like you can a terrier would take a while. My lurcher has a very dense short coat and i just use a stripping knife, very gently like a comb, its the best tool around for getting the under coat out. Another good item, which is very cheap are rubber curry brushes which they use on horses, but i just use this for a general light brush over.

 

It really depends on the coat though.

Can't beat hand stripping the coat.

 

Them furminators didn't work on my dog and I cut him with a stripping knife.

 

Hand stripping takes a bit longer and makes your hands/fingers ache but I think the results are better.

 

The pictures were taken at different times but you get the idea..
