Need a Record Brush. Got a recommendation?

Agon'rs,

I'm going to put a record brush on my Christmas list. Do you have a recommendation? Why do you prefer it over other offerings? Not looking for a record cleaner, just a brush to use to get extraneous dust off of a clean record. Carbon, hair bristle, etc. What do you prefer and why? If you don't know why, but just like the way it works, that's fine too. ;~)

@slaw , I completely understand your reasoning. As I discovered, I needed to use my Zerostat, then use the brush to remove any leftover particles.

If you noticed on the Thunderon site, it's recommended to hold the record and not have it on the platter.
I've also found that the anti-static procedure works best when off the platter.

FWIW: I just don’t want an option that has a wire connected to it.

So far, with the Thunderon, my best solution, which is much better than the AQ, is after it is cleaned/steamed a few times, to use it for at least two rotations then flip the brush over and repeat. The result is VERY nice to the eye.

i just ordered a Thunderon to see if ti works like in the video.

 i really want a Destat but right now i cannot afford it.   and it looks like partsconnection is sold out, lucky for my wallet because i probably would have bought one.

@rsandor,

If you're registered with them, every now and then they'll offer 15% off. That's when I take stock.

@slaw , so the brush works well👍.
Have you tried it on a record that's been pulled out of its sleeve and put onto the TT?
(An LP that was washed and put away).
