That looks like a natural bristle chip brush and I have not
noticed them being particularly static-y. You could wet it
and blot dry (the bristles will retain some moisture) and
have pretty decent suppression of any triboelectric charging.
But guarantees, I'm not making.
Better than a synthetic bristle I'm pretty sure, unless it
is specially made to be conductive.

Can you get some data about material with which the brush you refer was made ?
Having this information you will be able to evaluate its ability to keep some electric charge:

Based only on webpage provided abote, it is not preciselly defined what kind of animal their anti-static brushes are made of.
Materials for Anti-Static Brushes Our anti-static brushes are made from low charging materials and natural bristle materials that are near neutral on the triboelectric chart. These anti-static brushes neither give nor take electrons and, therefore, remain essentially electrically neutral. There can, however, be a slight charge created. In extreme voltage sensitive applications, these anti-static brushes should be used only in a liquid environment.
Well, I did proceed in using the brush on the card this morning and when I plugged it back in my computer it was working fine. Since the brush I have is china made, I don't think I can still look for an accurate datasheet that mentions its material type. How about using the brush included with the Metro DataVac: **broken link removed** ?
