I have just brought one of these, and am not getting on with it at all.  Can any one give me any advice on how to use it.  I only seem to be able to get a hair or two at a time, is this right?

You need to use it as if you were peeling a potato, gripping the coat and pulling it towards you, then it will come out easily.  Not sure if this ok but, there is a grooming section on my website with pics of knives etc. and how to do it.  Let ALL the pics download, I think there are about 2 and a half pages of them!  They might give you a better idea.  Look at my profile, my addy is on there.  Good luck.
Dawn.

Many thanks Dawn, will check out your site.
