I've found that the wood brushes that I have tried, Moon, Black Diamond don't brush the chalk off as well as the plastic Lapis brushes.

Lapis plastic brushes £3.99 @ CragX Climbing (Lapis Wooden brushes @ £5.35).  Incurred postage might make the £0.02 saving redundant, although I guess you could bulk buy four to get free postage.

CragX are now doing price match too.

Interesting... Would you put this down the flexibility of the brush? I certainly haven't found this with the wooden Lapis...

Three wooden handled brushes here for a tenner. I've got a set and they're pretty good

I've got this set aswell and while I'm happy with the 2 smaller brushes the big one is shedding bristles far too quickly...  Happy with its chalk brushing capabilities but it's durability, not so much.

I would appear to be lacking in knowledge about the current state of play in brush technology as I wasn't aware of wooden Lapis brushes.

My teeth.

[Muenchener]

slightly offtopic but has anyone used a lapis rollybar? seems to be some kind of training kit but can't work out what exactly for.

They're for making it really, really hard to do one single bodyweight pullup. Saves time.

Perfect for Lycan aficionados.

the rock and run own brand ones are decent and seem to have lasted well

[sherlock]

I didn't realise that folk actually paid for brushes, my last two Lapis both came free with guidebooks.

Boar bristle beard brush for a fiver,

I would say that was not much use for cleaning holds.

[Hoseyb]

Quite possibly. I'm still always amazed at the "specialist" brushes getting hawked to climbers.
The moon 3 brush set they used to sell with the bamboo shiv, used to regularly pop up on eBay as an unbranded manicure set directly shipped from China.
Although I rely heavily on my sublime brush for established problems, my old scrubbing brush (nylon and drilled to put on some tat) has seen at least 15 years of loyal service.
Platers brushes ( non metal bristle versions) used in jewelry trade have also been very useful, and probably appropriated and rebranded

[SA Chris]

Agree on that. I've bought the same wooden balls that are used as training aids by drilling a hole in them and branding them for much less than they are sold by climbing companies.

Tw*t tax, see also anything high end bicycles. Currently using a Kiwi shoe polishing brush for larger areas, reduced to £1-ish Morrisons. Seems to work.

Just adding some praise to Psychi brushes while I remember. Their first iteration had crap glue and the bristles fell out, but latest versions have a high "bristle density", nice stiff bristles and solid handle, and well priced. Not found anything that matches them, and tried a few (avoiding plastic when I can)
