Sorry meant to add his coat does not take out enough

Help since Coco has been castrated he has turned into a fluff ball. He is working strain and had always had a very sleek coat. I dont want to clip him back so in your opinian what would be best to thin out his coat.

I've merged your two threads into one Kimberley

How old is Coco and what colour? I expect the fluffiness is due to him being castrated, but if he's a puppy and is liver coloured those may contribute towards the fluffiness too. I know a couple of people on here who have liver coloured working Cockers that aren't neutered and have had similar problems.

You could try using a Mars Coat King to see if that helps, but clipping might be your only solution in the end. I was able to continue hand stripping my neutered orange roan show type boy for a year or more after castration, then used a coat king and thinning scissors for a few years, but eventually had to resort to clippers and thinning scissors.

He's a black and tan and his coat king is not doing a lot, the lad is 7 years old,

 In that case I can't think of any option but clippers.

I have neutered male, black chat. He is a fuzz ball and I had to resort to clipping. More do during summer as his coat can get very heavy. I think he looks gorgeous clipped, shiny and velvet looking!
