Some buns with tolerate a lint roller. If his fur is shedding, this usually works pretty well because it won’t stick to the “attached” fur. I have had buns it worked like a charm for, others hated it more than being brushed. My one poor bun, Cinnabon, was not a good candidate for lint rollers, because for some reason, they just glued to his fur. That was not a pleasant discovery for either of us lol.

You could also try plucking tufts by hand. I usually end up doing this the most, because you can disguise it as petting. 🙂

They make a brush “glove” that has softer rubber bristles on the palm. Its nice because it combines brush and petting. Most of my buns liked it. 🙂 Here’s something like what I had (it died to a bun. She chewed off the tips and bristles of several spots. Sigh.)

You may also try a different type of brush. Ones that don’t have the sharp metal bristles seem best, but even a comb might work.
