Sleeve City Thunderon Conductive Record Brush
I don't have one.....yet. So I don't know if it really works. There's a video demo of it, but who knows? It says it's very effective at preventing static if used with GrooveGlide or GrooveLube, but I personally don't believe in those products. In fact, I feel they are harmful to your stylus, no to mention your records. I do have scientific theory on that, but won't go into it here. It's most likely something you can figure out yourself with little effort.
I'm thinking of trying one of these brushes. I don't care who you are or what you clean your records with, you will on occasion have some static build up especially in dry weather unless your place is well controlled and hermetically sealed. It's just the nature of the beast.
This brush is goat hair as opposed to carbon fiber we are used to,so that makes it kind of interesting.
 
This appears to be an OEM version of a Kinetronics 100N brush which is commonly sold in photographic shops. They also make a few different versions with extended handles and with grounding straps. A version with the extended handle is also sold from audiophile sources and is known as the AcousTech Big Record Brush.

Indeed it does! In fact, it appears to me to be exactly the same! I wonder if this really works? If it does, I'd just pick one up from BHPhoto or some photo shop and call it done. (That way my Zerostat would be a backup or the heavy artillery if needed)
 
That is a great brush!!! I had one and somehow got lost the last time I moved.
I'm definitely getting another.
 
I have the AcousTech big brush. I wouldn't say it removes all static but I do really like it and would recommend it !!
