If any of them have survived this long, that is....(the owners not the brushes:lol:)

Sorry David but i'm a bit of a sceptic when it comes to things like this but it's only cos i've been burn in the past, i'm not saying the Blue Horizon brush is a generic cos i've never seen or used one, but my question is why go to the trouble of designing a fantastic new brush then make it look like everyone else's? doesn't make sense to me, but does make me think that they may be cashing in a bit on their name, it's not a bad thing, and TBH loads of top companies do the very same thing, that's business.
Well I sold all my initial stocks, and having problems meeting demand for the spiked shoes as well, suppose they may have copied an established design, I think its brill myself, the brush that is.
I don't really have time at the moment mate, have 100's of unique product identifier codes to add to my site to keep google happy, but if it helps it's £20, what else do you know of that costs such a low price that could potentially save and prolong the life of your vinyl?
I have mine and a couple of people on the CU have said they are quite good, pity our lordship did not get his which is a pity as I sent it 3 days ago.
I have had my HMV version for well over 15 years and its as good as the day I bought it! I suspect it will go on forever.
The first of these I remember was the Decca one without pivoted handle. The forst ones shed badly, but this was sorted in future batches and my second one from a year or two later (still 1980 or so) is fine. So is my pivoted Path brush in a fetching golden colour instead of the bright aluminium finish of most others. This latter one is currently used daily.
Hi Mike,
Most likely to keep the costs down and maintain a competitive price. I'd imagine that you can buy the generic plastic injection moulding (which is commonly used by other manufacturers) for buttons from China, or wherever.Quote:

But the important part is the brush itself; how that's been designed and the materials used. When I get mine, that's the part I'll be examining. The bottom line though, and all that matters, is how well it works.
If a bespoke 'holder' had been produced, then the cost of the finished article would not have been £19.95! ;)
Like David, I'm a little bemused that some folk who wouldn't bat an eyelid at spending £40 or £50 on, for example, one new audiophile pressing on vinyl, are baulking at coughing up a mere £20 for a record brush.... :scratch:
Jeez, we've spent more on the wine for our dinner this evening - get a grip, people!! :lol:
