Furminator and bathing questions

My vet sold me a Furminator to use on 8 year old Spanky. He has been shedding a lot and the new tool seems to work well to take off lots of fur. How often should I use it on him? I don't want him to go bald.
Also, how often should a senior, rather inactive bulldog be bathed. Our vet says no more than once a month. Is that right?

It doesn't cut the fur, it just...

gets down to the undercoat. I do it very gently and I get a ton of hair off of Chester, but he still has a thick coat. Malaseb is a great shampoo, I use it for tear stains and tail pockets.

Re: I use the furminator almost everyday on Chester...

Does the furminator cut the fur? It seems to me like he loses more clumps of fur as I brush him with it. My vet sold me a shampoo called Malaseb. Thanks for any advice!
