So clipping continues and it’s too slow.
But still my buddy.

He also HATES the olive oil treatment. He cries when I put it on him.
I agree, when my cat won’t let me get a specific mat, the vets get it out pronto. He just sits there! He fights me tooth and nail at home!

Is it the oil he hates or the act of having it put on him?
I vote take him to the groomers and have them give him a lion cut or everything but his head gets cute to 1/4 or 1/2 inch long. Have the groomer clip his claws while you are at it,

He is beautiful. He knows you love him and with every mat removed he gets a little better. Keep up the good work.

Cornstarch might help too, but you'll want to lightly brush as much as you can put. It's dusty but can help break up the tangles.

You mentioned "Did your cat have his hair cut with a clipper comb? This can be a great alternative, but IME it doesn't handle mats as well, but it does a really nice job shortening the hair as a preventative measure. 
" Is this the type of clipper comb? I would like to get one for my cats but want to make sure I get the right equipment.

No, but the combs you posted look nice because they have a wide and fine tooth end!

The ones I was referring to are these, they slide over a #30 blade (or, a 5-in-1 blade that has a #9 - #40 blade that can be adjusted). They leave the longer and are really nice for longer coats, but they don't go through mats unfortunately.
