I have a body brush for post rubber currying - so a real dust collector and a body brush for finishing off both natural hair, then an acrylic bristled one for crusty mud!! Eeeek I sound obsessed!! (replace 'sound' with 'am')
Ha ha! Over the years I have never found another dandy brush to rival the one I owned first. Plastic bristles but just the right amount of flick and quite soft for a dandy brush, whilst being firm enough to work
