I have tried various brushes, soft and brittle, tried combs but my bun hated them all. Just ran off everytime I tried to use them. If I use my hand she’s okay but doesn’t stay laying down too long. My hands don’t pick up much fur.
Today I bought a plastic finger ring from pets at home and used that to groom her. It picked up a lot of fur and I kept having to pluck the fur from the plastic. Then I figured out just doing it quickly and the fur got swept into the air landing on the floor. My bun had all paws sprawled out widely and just laid on the floor over 10 minutes without moving. Had eyes closed entire time.
My Clarice does this, she loves long back rubs. If you’re not happy with how long it takes the ring to clean her up, I dampen my hands before giving Clarice a rub and it attracts the hair en masse. Then it just wipes off onto a paper towel. However, be certain your hands are only damp, and dry your bun thoroughly after with a towel. Also, be aware of the risks of getting her too wet, and make sure you get all of the fur when you do it, or you’ll have loose wet fur that she can easily groom off. Works great for me! (she is just as easy to brush, she just enjoys this more.)
