Bristles have gotten a bit soft but it still works. What the heck are you doing with yours, sweeping the shop floor? I hear cocobolo sawdust is tough on CF brushes. <;~)

I have the Hunt brush and have used it for about 3 years and it's still in very good shape. I do clean my records with a wet/vacuum cleaning system so the carbon brush is generally just taking very light dust particles off the top surface.
