My new SRM Super Brush

or clean leather shoes

That's the one, Larry. It's definitely going to go through some trial runs on some expendable LPs until I hear the results.

I also have a new Nitty Gritty wet brush to try at the same time. My original Okki Nokki brush just shed a large clump of goat hair. Preparing for Spring, I guess.

Joe,

You just need some of this now.

Get yourself a Keith Monks brush. More expensive but worth it. Keep the other one for cleaning your nails. 

Steve,

You're right. The Monks is more expensive. But I don't think you clean your LPs manually as I do. The SRM is actually quite effective. It has a much greater surface area of bristles and seems to lift the dirt right out of the grooves, unlike the ON goat brush I've been using for a year. The few LPs I've cleaned so far sound very good. I'm pleasantly encouraged. Could be a keeper.... more cleaning tomorrow.

It has been several weeks now, and I have to say that this thing kicks ass for record cleaning. Lives up to its hype on the other fora. Easily the best of the three brushes I've used (Okki Nokki, Nitty Gritty, and now, SRM). It is hard to get used to the notion that such a stiff and seemingly sharp bristled brush is best for cleaning LPs, but it turns out to be very efficient at removing debris while perfectly safe for the vinyl surface. It gets right into the grooves and gets the crap out. Trust it on your most prized LPs.

My only question now, is how long will it last?

May have to give this a go as my ON brush is starting to shed a few hairs.

Just had to check that this thread wasn't started on April Fool's Day. It sure looks like a nail brush to me, but I suspect if you were to ask Peter Belt's followers they'd say that once you've cleaned your hands and nails with this beauty and carefully placed the disc on the platter with truly 'clean' hands that it would most certainly sound better! Are you sure you're using it correctly?!!

I won't argue it's not a utilitarian brush. In fact, its intended purpose is a nail brush. Some enlightened person saw it has the perfect length dimension for an LP and tried it on their RCM. I'm glad they shared their findings, and glad I gave it a go. It's not difficult to filter through the various internet and forum responses on the matter to get a sense of what's worthwhile spending a dime on.

Worse case scenario I'd have been left with an expensive nail brush, boot brush, or vegetable scrubber. Turns out to be a great LP scrubber. If you have a manual brush type RCM, this might be the best $25 upgrade you can give it. Alternatively, you can spend $25 on a soft RCM brush designed for the intended purpose and never know the difference. The status quo has its comforts.

Please send me a link to that brush.  My contact info is in my signature.  I might want to try it.
