I stopped using a dry brush a few years ago, and instead have been using Last All Purpose Cleaner after each play. This works well to pick up any dust before putting the LP away into its anti static sleeve. I dispense the Last cleaner from a small spritzer bottle rather than the dropper bottle it comes in, for better control of the amount of cleaner that goes on the brush.
Does dry-brushing really do anything...
...other than create static? Sure, you can sweep up visible debris, but is it the visible debris that creates the ticks and pops? I've given up the carbon fiber brush, and if the records begins to collect more visible debris than I care, I'll drop it back in the Klaudio ultrasonic cleaner.
Has anyone else given up on the dry brush?
