I've found that the best way to use this brush (and similar ones) is not to use it at all. The will pick up some of the dust, etc, but they do indeed leave a lot behind.
Get a record cleaning machine (and perhaps a zerostat gun) and be done with it. Clean the stylus regularly with extremephono's gel and you will rarely need a brush.
Believe it or not, but I have found that the static wipes made by Pledge (the ones in the BLUE packet) work a hell of a lot better than a brush. Make sure it's the BLUE packet, not any other color, as these are simply cotton wipes (about the size of a sheet of kleenex) and have nothing added to them. I confirmed and reconfirmed and re-reconfirmed this before trying them even on a crappy LP. They work! A light touch as the LP spins a couple of revolutions.
