It depends on which breed of collie you have. There are several, but they are very different: the rough collie, smooth collie, the border collie, and the bearded collie . The rough collie is the Lassie-type dog, and usually, having two brushes is good for normal daily purposes. Show grooming is much more involved. The one brush should be a comb-like one (for thick undercoat), and the other with shorter spikes (for the upper coat). They sometimes come in 2-packs at pet stores. The comb-like one should be used first, especially behind the ears and the fur on and adjacent to the tail. Then comes the other brush to pick up the excess fur. Brushing every other day is good to keep the tangles out. Washing should be less frequent, as it makes the coat dry and dull. Once a month, perhaps, twice at most, if it's summer and your dog is stinky.

What is the same about the collie and a smooth coated border collie?

There isn't really a smooth-coated border collie. The border collie is a different breed, but the rough collie, with a long double coat, and the smooth collie, with a shorter coat, are pretty closely related. The rough collie and the smooth collie both originated for herding purposes in the British Isles. They have the same general shape, size, and colorations. The only big difference is the coat type.
