I used to brush the stylus before each side played but now I think that is excessive, so I check it with a jewelers loupe. I also rotate between the brush and sometimes use Blue Tack instead of the brush.
Almost never. My cleaning process leaves my records dirt/dust free and the records are always stored in a Diskeeper sleeve. Once in a blue moon I use Blu Tack but there is never anything left on it. Viewing under a microscope confirms this. I consider my record cleaning system to be as much a part of my system and anything else.
