Anti-Static Brush

I use a static draining brush by Maplshade. It actually has a ground wire attached that you plug into the ground terminal of the closest electrical outlet. The brush is very soft, but does its job extremely well. It looks like junk, but does work.

I use the Sleeve City record brush ($10.95) and it works great! Best brush ever!

Gently hold it while the record rotates. Gets rid of static, and collects dust very effectively. Just rotate the brush in the holder to sweep off the collected dust. The brush is grounded to your body by holding it. No need for a ground wire.

Very similar to the old Decca record Brush with the same two rows of conductive fibers.

I find any brush with goat hair utterly useless on vinyl. Attracts more dust than removes

Another vote for the Mapleshade brush. String is right, it doesn't look like much but it removes static better than anything I've tried. I read somewhere that the grounding cord on the "Big Brush" isn't actually grounded to anything.

I bought the Mapleshade brush and cannot endorse it at all. It sheds fine metal fibres very badly, which then get caught up in my cartridge as they are attracted to the magnet. An utter nightmare!! It helped with static though, so would be great if only the thing didn't shed fibres everywhere.
