I find using a salon quality scissors work the best on my himalayan. She gets very nasty when cutting her mats as it is painful. With the salon scissors, they cut cleanly and quickly through the mat without any pulling and is virtually pain free.
I have DH hold her, while I slowly cut through the mat. Once I am about 1/2 from the skin, I can gently brush out the rest of the fur.
