The Michelangelo Sculpting Stone is the most versatile stripping tool in the industry. This stripping stone is a sculpting tool for any breed: it doesn't cut wild hairs, it pulls them out. Made with 180 grit sand from India, this strip stone removes hair without damaging the coat. This sculpting stone is chiseled on one end for the finest of detailing. No more cutting or breaking coat Eliminate wispy hairs and remove flyaway hairs for fine tuning Remove soft hair build up on ears without injuring the skin Warning: To get the ultimate performance in coat care and grab-ability, the 180-grit sand is very brittle and this stone may break. Making the stone more durable would impede performance.
