I'd look for a rubber curry-style brush. The Kong Zoom Groom is a popular option. Brush in a circular motion, and I'd recommend doing it outside--these kinds of brushes don't real capture hair so much as send it flying everywhere.
I just use a simple rubber curry brush. Works like a charm and my guy likes the "massage" it gives him in the process. The one I specifically use is a Kong Zoom Groom.
Yes because when he’s clean, that’s when the hair is going to be the easiest to remove.
If you want to brush him in the bath to loosen up the hair (which is a good idea and makes brushing afterwards easier), you’ll want to use something like this. It won’t damage the coat or skin. You can also safely use a metal comb while he’s wet to remove clumps of hair. Or you can use your fingers. Just really scrub him very well.
If you’re using a de-shedding tool such as The Furminator or one of the many versions of it, you will want to make sure that he is thoroughly dry before you use it. If the skin or coat is wet it can cause irritation or damage. You also want to make sure you’re using it correctly. Set an alarm on your phone for 15 minutes and once that time is up, put the brush down and stop. Don’t go over one area more than a few times. You will be tempted to continue because you will likely still be removing large amounts of hair but if you do too much, it will damage the skin/coat. Tools like that are meant more for long term success, so if you use it once a week (and no more than that), you can drastically reduce the amount of shedding. It requires patience though and a lot of people wait until their dogs are dropping their coats and then go crazy brushing with it, which is usually where reports of damaged coats come from.
Your best bet is a combination of the rubber brush, the comb and a slicker brush. These can be used often with very little risk of damage and will remove a lot of hair.
Also just about cried out loud when I saw the furminator!
After using many brushes, including the furminator (I didn't know better at the time) this is by far my favourite. Brush the dog backwards, as in tail to head to really get out the fur that wants to come out, then forward for a nice clean finish.

Edit: Realized I put in the small version, this is the regular one.
