the one your using is a monofilament brush some people prefer these as dirt doesnt get trapped in them the same,with these they can rinse the glass easier leaving the brush in contact with the glass, i find the downside of these brushes is that they tend to not scrub the glass proper and bounce over ground in dirt without moving it and so can easily leave brush marks, flagged or flocked brushes i find clean the glass better but more care has to be taken in the rinse as the flocked bristles tend to trap dirt and this can easily be transferred and left on the glass, everyone has their own favourites and i use mainly the gardner flocked brush but on certain windows i do use other brushes i dont think a brush to suit every application is out there but the gardner flocked comes pretty close to it in my opinion.
