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. ;~)

I use this:

And then this at the spot where I lift the brush. (never got the hang of the swish-lift just right)

You may find even lower prices if you shop.

I'm not trying to hijack the thread, but does anybody use one of these brushes to wipe CDs before playing? 

I've read all the CD demag threads in the archives, dont want to get into that.
Just wondering if dust collects on the reflective side of a disc.

Static electric charge is an issue for CDs, LPs and cables. I doubt you will ever see dust on a CD unless you leave it out exposed for some time.

Will a CD hold a static charge when stored in the soft plastic holders similar to clamshells? I use the Audioquest brush when removing the discs, but not a concern when using jewel cases.
