Brush for Liquid Emulsion

I have been using sponge brushes to apply Silverprint liquid emulsion to
paper. I would like to use a "better" brush and would appreciate any
suggestions. Awhile back, someone suggested the Richeson "magic" brush from Jerry's
Artarama, but they seem no longer to carry it and I haven't been able to find it
elseqhere.

Two concerns I have are: first, the shedding of hairs from "real" brushes
(which I may not see under the safelight and discover too late...this happened to
me with inexpensive Hake brushes from Utrechts) and second, the problem of
adequately cleaning brushes so that they don't stain upon future applications (I
have currently been disposing of the foam brushes after every coating
session).

Thanks very much for any guidance.
