I know there has been some discussion previously on Coat Kings, I was looking for someone else and came across this site which shows some before and after photos - including a couple of Cavaliers!

I bought my Coat King from this company in the UK
http://www.hubintsecured.co.uk/acatalog/Coat_Kings.html
They seem to be about the cheapest in the UK.
This is the one I use:
Coat King - Stripping Rake - 20 blades - Ex. fine (Ref. 2449)
Price: £21.02 - £24.70 Including VAT at 17.5%
This isn't the one they suggest for Cavaliers, but I know many other Cavalier guardians use this one very successfully.
I usually do mine a couple of times a month, and slightly more often when they are moulting.
It only takes out the dead hair...the first time you use it you end up with a heap nearly as big as the dog!!! But after that it just keeps the coat under control, esp for dressed dogs.
I only use it on the inside of the ears...and not too much, as it takes too much out of them.
Although it looks quite frightening, if you run it across your arm you can see it doesn't hurt. It works best on a clean coat, after a bath - and to keep it clean, I use an old toothbrush and mild washing up liquid.
