Next up was the Iridium, which is even tougher due to the kinda tall textured metal knobs, and tight spacing. Can the Synth Duster do this job? Yes. Yes it can. OK - it’s just a brush, but oh what a brush it is!
I haven’t clean-shaved in years, so I dug out my old shaving brush – I think it might be badger hair or something. It’s a lovely little brush, so I use that! And it sits upright on my desk looking cute the rest of the time.
@Artsutanav – I know what you mean. I like to have a hoover nozzle that I hold next to where I’m brushing to suck up the dust I’m disturbing with my brush.

Shaving brushes should work too, but they are significantly more expensive than even a super soft paint brush from Home Depot or your favorite art supply shop. And if you actually shave with it, you should probably clean it carefully to get all of the soap residue out before applying to synths.
The next major piece to the puzzle is a good air filter. Dust your stuff and the filter pulls the dust out of the air. Vacuum the floor weekly. Put decksavers on gear you haven’t touched for a week.
I have been loving my befaco brush … It’s one of my favourite purchases this year. It’s actually much better than any make-up / paint brush I’ve used previously, the bristles have the perfect blend of stiffness and softness, and they don’t feel like they will fall off like some paint brushes.
