This product is brilliant as a block chalk and it helps me no end to put resistance on the hair that I need to pull out of my dogs coat. I prefer the block but the problem occurs in delivery! It ended up being broken with its own protective box being badly damaged. Powder was coming out of the unopened package covering the carpet and the other item and paperwork inside the package being totally covered in powder . Note to oneself, next time order powdered chalk :-)

Definitely made stripping easier on silky spaniel coat, however made a lot of mess with the chalk all over the grooming area. Perhaps I was a bit over zealous with use!

Arrived broken but useable. Hard to keep this item in one piece whilst transporting I expect but invaluable for hand stripping

Useful, can just rub a little on fingers, or rub on dog if need a bigger area.
