Favorite Record Cleaning Brush?

I just noticed my fancy schmancy carbon fiber recording cleaning brush is worn down to the nubbin.
I never liked it as much as the discwasher brush. But the audiophile store that sold it to me assured me that a discwasher brush would ruin my records, and this one would make them sound better than new.
What are people using.

I love it and recommend it. Better than the similar MoFi one I think.
His web site looked bad in 1998 and has not been updated.
Had to call him on the phone, which led to a 60 minute lecture on the proper way to clean a record and why I can never get a record clean using my Nitty Gritty machine.
One of his theories is that the vinyl is sprayed with "release solution" before being stamped. The solution allows the vinyl to separate from the stamper. It is this solution that makes your records sound bad. He has the only cleaner that can get the solution off your records.
I just bought the brush.

Having watched records being pressed at several plants and seeing footage of several more, I can assure you this is complete bullshit.
