Goat Hair Brush

Thought to replace my AudioQuest Carbon Fiber record cleaning brush with the rare, premium record cleaning brushes being manufactured again by Russell Company in England made out of goat hair.

My experience has been that it leaves "way more dust" on the record then a carbon fiber one for dry brushing - it does a terrible job of removing dust from an LP surface and can even add particles/hair to the record surface.

Should have left well enough alone...

Thinking about pulling all the goat hair out from the wood handle and replacing them with the new gray hairs sprouting up on my head everyday. Call it the Silverback Brush (tm).

I have never tried the goat hair brush you mention but have tried a dozen other types including carbon fiber and other materials.

The best so far is the Milty Duo-Pad which is made in England. I searched for a link to provide for this thread but could not find anyone in the USA, hopefully a temporary thing.

Theo, that must be why my old one is hard to find, your link is likely the replacement. That's the first time I've seen it.

Link below is the old one I use. This is a UK site.

FWIW, the U.S. distributor for Milty products is Music Hall, Great Neck, NY 516-487-3663. The UK website has a listing of several Milty products - one of which (Zerostat 3)I have purchased/used.
