It actually looks really awful to me. It's a Discwasher knock-off. And it actually looks like a very bad knock-off. Discwasher used to be the standard for cleaning kits in the 70s and early 80s before vacuum Record Cleaning Machines became more popular or even somewhat affordable. I still have the one I bought back then. It did it's job for years. But better brushes and cleaning system have made it obsolete.

The original Discwasher was actually not velvet. It was actually a fabric with directional bristles. Although without close inspection it could be mistaken for velvet. The way it worked was you put cleaning solution on leading edge of the brush. You then scrubbed the record by applying the wet edge to the record surface for a couple of revolutions. To dry the record, you rolled the brush to dry edge of the brush, then another couple of revolutions. The directional bristles would actually scoop up the dust, hairs, or any thing else on the surface of the record.

The description of the brush you are inquiring about claims actual velvet. Which means, this is actually a pillow with a handle. You are actually better of buying the current version of the Discwasher. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C1WGG7Y I would highly recommend you avoid the product you are inquiring about. I wouldn't recommend the Discwasher either, as stated it's obsolete. I would recommend the Allsop Orbitrac 3 or a Spin Clean (or any of the cheaper knock-offs). These cost more, but you will be purchasing something that works much better. The biggest issue with the Discwasher is that you will be using a brush that will be used over and over. There is no means to replace the bristles. Mine never wore out, but this is a concern as well. A brush shouldn't last 30 years and not wear out. It shouldn't last a year. A good brush will wear out. Each time a brush is used, there should be wear on the bristles. If the brush isn't deteriorating, then it is deteriorating the record that is being brushed.
