Back to the brush.....I showed the OP to SWMBO....Havent heard her laugh so much for ages. Not a comment on its efficacy, if it was a tenner I would probably get one but I do think someone is taking the pi$$.

Hi Ray,
I know *exactly* where you're coming from, as that's how I felt when I saw it... I even said to David that for the price Furutech are charging, they could've at least made the handle out of a nice piece of real wood!!Back to the brush.....I showed the OP to SWMBO....Havent heard her laugh so much for ages. Not a comment on its efficacy, if it was a tenner I would probably get one but I do think someone is taking the pi$$.
However, as they say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating (or in this case, listening), and quite simply, NOTHING else I've used removes static from records like the SK2. And when you hear the resulting sonic improvement this gives, you just can't live without it!
Try using one of your wife's (unused) make-up brushes instead and see what happens... If you get into it, you can then move onto wearing her frocks!

What the hell, I use a make up brush to dust my tonearm (double ended also !)
it's supersoft, probably softer than an artists brush so I'm not ashamed to fess up.
