Best grooming tools for long-haired cats?

Hi everyone, I’ve started brushing my cat regularly but I’m not sure if I’m using the right tools. The shedding is insane 😬 I recently came across a complete grooming tools checklist and it seems pretty solid. Just wanted to ask — what brushes or combs do you all swear by for long-haired breeds? Especially those with thick undercoats. Appreciate any tips!
