Gardiner dual flocked soft for me.

i use 2 different brushes for most work at present.

radius sill brush(medium white)on carbon gooseneck

radius sill brush(flocked black)on a quick release resi neck

the flocked is best for old wooden windows and leaded windows as the brush doesnt drag on the lead as much.

the medium white is great for scrubbing frames if their filthy(first cleans)and conny roofs/fascia cleans.

both these brushes are dual trim.the sill brushes are really great for domestics as you wont scratch the sills when cleaning them which you can if using an extreme brush for example.
price higher/work harder!

Funny, I've been using a few of my brushes this week, the white medium superlight and the dual trim flocked soft black and personally I think the best allrounder is the black dual trim flocked as it does everything well, leads, frames, first cleans etc. You need to look on www.gardinerpolesystems.co.uk for this brush.
In the end though, it comes down to personal preference. And when you can afford it, you could try a different type to see what suits you

not enough brisels imo, sometimes lightness is not always the best.

I use the duel trim mono medium on all poles they work well, still prefer the black duel trim flocked that Alex used to do till it changed and became different and didnt like it. Also Vikan brisels now if Alex could get them on his light stocks that brush would be awesome the reason the brisels dont fall out very often

Sill brushes are great mate.
Get a vikan normal for 1st cleans with pencil jets cant beat the scrubbing power.

Don't think Xtreme brushes scratch cills - mine don't.

If it was me and i had to have one brush for everything then I would use the flocked dual trim superlight and make sure you rinse with the brush off the glass. It's good for first cleans, maintenance cleans, conservatory roofs, leaded and will clean gutters and fascias.
I only use xtremes these days but they need a bit more care and probably aren't best for anyone new to wfp.
