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).

This reminds me of the squirrel hair record brush that was offered in the 60s; also from England.
Mapleshaderecords.com
sells a unique static draining record cleaning brush, and it's only $39.95.
There is even a money back guarantee!
Regardless of which brush is chosen, consider also owning the "Ionoclast" anti-static charge neutralizing gadget, an ion generator for $38.50 from Mapleshade. Competition to the better known Zerostat stun gun.
Try using the goat's hair brush to spread enzyme cleaning solutions around a few old records.

The enzymes will dissolve those hairs in short order - problem solved!
Can't wait until Michale Femmer jumps on this as the must have brush, and of course he will make a video of exactly how to properly do the brushing. All for $39.95 plus shipping and handling.
