Epica Self-Cleaning Slicker Brush with Pivoting Head for Dogs Review

Epica Self-Cleaning Slicker Brush with Pivoting Head for Dogs

The Epica Self-Cleaning Slicker Brush with Pivoting Head for Dogs comes packaged as seen above. 



My favorite part of the Epica Self-Cleaning Slicker Brush with Pivoting Head for Dogs is the Self-Cleaning part. Really it is because we are constantly cleaning out our brushes while brushing our Saint Bernard Princess Goliath, it just never ends, but with the self cleaning brush our job is made that much easier. 


We also like the pivoting head because it glides right over our dogs fur without scrapping into her skin. It is gentle but it gets the job done right. I know if this is ever to break I will be replacing it with the same brush it is that good. 





What Epica has to say about their product 

The Epica's pivoting head makes the grooming experience more comfortable and efficient for both you and your dog. And with retractable pins, clean-up's a cinch too!
Retractable Pins Make Brush Cleaning Easy
Simply push the retractor button, and the pin bed is left bare for you to shake off the hair. It's so fast and easy, you can even do it in mid-groom while keeping one hand on your dog.
Pivoting Head Adjusts to Your Pet's Curves
Reaching all your pet's sides and angles can be difficult with an ordinary brush. Epica came up with a brilliant solution: instead of bending and straining your wrist, you adjust the angle of the brush head. Now even brushing his belly is a breeze!
Durable Stainless Steel with Non-Slip Grip
Sturdily constructed for long use, the Epica features flexible, non-rusting stainless steel pins that gently but thoroughly remove tangles and dead hair build-up in the undercoat. Non-slip gripper nodes on the handle keep you completely in control.

You can purchase the Epica Self-Cleaning Slicker Brush with Pivoting Head for Dogs on Amazon.

Epica Reversible De-Matting Comb with Safety Blades for Dogs and Cats Review

Epica Reversible De-Matting Comb with Safety Blades for Dogs and Cats


The Epica Reversible De-Matting Comb with Safety Blades for Dogs and Cats comes packaged as seen above. I was very excited for this since we have a Saint Bernard Spring is full of  hair everywhere and unless we help with her hind quarters she will have tufts hair through most of the summer. With the Epica Reversible De-Matting Comb with Safety Blades for Dogs and Cats we don't have to worry about that and her fur looks beautiful much more quickly then letting nature takes it course. 

Now that we have two kittens with long fluffy fur I am sure they will need a little extra help in keeping their fur in tip top shape too. 


The two big sellers for me with this product is the safety case so my girls don't get cut, and of course the fact that this can be used by either a right handed person or a lefty like my husband. He knows all to well that most of the world is right (including me lol) while he is left in left field most of the time. Not with the Epica Reversible De-Matting Comb with Safety Blades for Dogs and Cats they took in account the lefties out there, Yeah Epica!

My animals are protected because of the rounded part that glides against their skin, not more sores or scratches for you little fut babies. These work with ease and my animals didn't mind the extra pruning so to speak, matter of fact when my cats see it out they rub up against it. I guess they even know a good product when they see it. 



What Epica has to say about their product 

Save your beloved pet the stress and discomfort of basic de-matting tools ... and you'll save yourself time and effort into the bargain. The Epica De-Matting Comb is ideal for all breeds with long, medium, wiry or curly hair.
Extra-Long Blades with Safety Edges
No more painful pulling, sawing or even possibly scratching your pet's skin. The smooth, curved edge slips safely next to his body while the serrated edge slices effortlessly through thick tangles and mats. Your grooming sessions go faster and he's much happier!
Blades Reverse for Right and Left Hands
If you're left-handed, you can still keep the smooth safety edges next to your pet's skin. Simply unscrew the nut at the top and reverse the blades so that they're positioned correctly for you to grip the handle with your thumb on the thumb rest.
Durable Stainless Steel with Non-Slip Grip
The Epica's stainless steel blades and thumb rest stand up to heavy use without rusting, scratching, bending or breaking. To minimize hand and wrist fatigue, the non-slip handle with ribbed neck give you a secure, comfortable grip.

You can purchase the Epica Reversible De-Matting Comb with Safety Blades for Dogs and Cats on Amazon.

Out of the Shoebox Review



Book Description:

Out of the Shoebox is a fascinating journal that reads like a detective story, comes across as an imaginative quest into the past, yet is the true personal story of the writer, Yaron Reshef. 

An unexpected phone call hurls Reshef into an intensive two-year journey, during which he has to solve a mystery that took shape in the 1930s and gradually unfolded in the present. A mysterious lot, a forgotten bank account, a people long gone – along with their memory which were obliterated during the Holocaust. All of these rise to the surface, bearing with them memories and emotions previously hidden away in the shoebox. 

MarksvilleandMe reviews Out of the Shoebox
written by
Yaron Reshef

Even though I read many genres of books, my favorite genre to read is non-fiction about the Holocaust, survivors, and how they overcame what they went through. It fascinates me. I just don't understand how anyone let things get so out of hand, turning a blind eye for so long, not to mention those who think it never happened no matter how much is written or even if they are shown video footage of the atrocities the prisoners of the Holocaust endured. 

I grew up very near to a family who survived the Holocaust, at least the mother anyways, I was too young and never asked what happened. All I remember is the tattooed numbers on her arm, that she was in her 90's and loved to see me dance, so dance is what I did, it brought her much joy. 

She has been gone many years and most of her children have followed her leaving just one of her Children along with her grand children, great grand children, and I am sure by now great great grandchildren behind. I should ask to hear more of her story. I believe hers may be one that hasn't been told. 

I loved her as a grandmother, her daughter as a mother, and her grand daughter as Aunt figure if you will. Their whole family is very close to my heart. They are the Meisner's at least that would have been her married name. 

This book like every Holocaust book I have read has taken me in completely to a different time and place. This book is filled with mystery that unfolds as you read along. Amazing emotion and surprises are throughout the book. This will be a page turner for those who love history, non-fiction, mystery, and a roller coaster of emotions. 

Yaron does a great job at making you part of the story. I am glad to meet yet another family who endured so much, so that we might remember, that life will go on.

You can purchase Out of the Shoebox on Amazon.
