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).

Albertporter, I haven't tried a felt-type brush since back in the days of the Discwasher D4 system. The Milty Duo-Pad does look interesting. I didn't see that it came with a brush for cleaning the pads?

Dougdeacon, I'm gonna give your suggestion a shot. Flood it with pure water afterwards and see whats what. t'aint bein' used for nothin' else no how....

I use Femmer's technique of dry brushing from a video I watched of his called, "It's a Vinylworld After All."

I use the red plastic cover of the Duo-Pad for that purpose.

The cover must be removed to access the pad. When the pad has completed the job of picking up lint, I use the edge of the cover to sweep the pad clean.

The Milty Duo-Pad works much better than the Disc Washer, at least as I remember.

Sorry your experiment went south. Too bad, there are plenty of old goats in this hobby to have made many a brush!

The MFSL brushes have the felt type pad, and I believe they are advertised as a wet/dry brush. I use mine wet to apply MFSL cleaning fluid to clean on the VPI 16.5....
