2 years ago, I bought a Vikan brush, a heavy brush when compared to gardiner brushes, so I took it round to a mate of mine who is a carpenter by trade. He has all sorts of weird and wonderful machinery in his workshop so I asked him to trim the stock down to bare minimum to reduce weight.

I still use that same brush to date with no signs of wear whatsoever. In between, I have bought gardiner brushes but have always returned to the Vikan.

This is my brush of choice

I did try that brush Matt, I got one with my new pole, though I would use it for first cleans, but I couldn't get on with it, I felt the inner bristles were too stiff for me personally. I have now got the SL medium mixed for first cleans, and that feels really nice on the glass, glides really nicely, the inner bristles feel a little softer too, don't know if that's my imagination or not.

Lee, if I could believe the extreme was reliable on certain jobs I'd plump for it. It feels great to work with, in that sense i love it.

I do however feel a certain amount of compromise is needed to be able to guarantee our work, and the price for that is the extra 100 gram weight.

Why do you prefer that to the standard splay version?
Tried the 15 degree splay (no longer available) but found that you had to press very hard to get the inner bristles in contact with the glass.

Ref. Lee I found the sl dt medium mixed feels very nice on the glass and seems to glide evortlesly over windows, but unfortunately for me it really did not scrub nearly as well as the flocked brush.

Wonder what a sl flocked single trim would be like?

i diy harris poles and fishing poles...but never diy brushes
for me they are the most important component generally the lighter
the better and i buy the best quality i can get for the job

Tried a broom head, didnt like the bristle layout, plus to hard or soft, hard to get it right.
you know when you buy a wfp brush from a reputable company like (gardiner) its designed for wfp use.
