This particular brush

doesn't have an external grounding wire, can't say if it has an internal wire to the metal-covered handle, but one wonders why would the handle would be metal at all if it did not serve a purpose, why not plastic? Certainly much cheaper and easier to make. The package claims the brush helps with static for all that is worth. No instructions are provided.

The fibers are very thin and bend easily. Even if it were thin enough to ride in the groove, I would think they jump in and out during brushing, reducing effectiveness. The velvet just seems more suitable for a mechanical approach.

The wet cleaning does a fantastic job at eliminating static, even with 5 revolutions under suction, no discernable static. I am testing for static by discharging myself :O and bringing the album against my skin, judging relative to how it stimulates body hair.

I am going to measure the thickness of velvet fiber, paint pad, carbon fiber, and paintbrush bristle relative to the groove width and will post findings.
