You chaps who make your own brushes - have you found anything better than the Bentley? I've been using a Wilkinsons de-lux which i actually prefer to the Bentley as it seems to have more bristles however, they don't want to stay in long.

It feels very much like a Tucker, lots of splay and monofilament, Luke

You cant compare a floor brush to a Tucker brush.  ::)

Sorry to disagree but you can compare them. They are lighter and cheaper. I used to think Tucker where and are the best make out there but they have got left behind in the race for lightness which is more important when working at height.

I know this sounds sad but I really like running my hands throught the Addis, it feels really nice. I've actually recently noticed how important splay is, my vikan monofilaments are hard to splay at even 18ft, The bentley/vikan flocked have better cleaning power in my view. Im looking forward to using Jeffs Addis, I may use it instead of the Bentley who knows, afterall Jeff does have alot of wfp experience, more than anybody I know and hes experiemnted with lots of diferent techniques and equipment, Luke
