Three rules:
1) Soft wax, soft brush. Hard wax, hard brush
2) always brush from tip to tail of the ski
3) always use a brush in the same direction. Put an arrow on the handle so you know which way it should be used.

@hyperkub, Thanks! This will be the first time the skis are waxed properly, as they're relatively new. All advice appreciated

Needed is the interesting word. What do you mean by it? What are you trying to achieve with your waxing? An alpine racer will have different requirements compared to a cross-country biathlonist.
Making the sweeping assumption that you are a general recreational downhill skier, then the only need you have of brushing is to reduce the suction effect in wet snow. For this you can use just about any nylon or horsehair brush around, and these used after the waxing process will give you a mostly suction-free ski. Keep away from brass/metallic brushes at this point.

@RobW, That's what we did last time, with a nylon brush. Yes, both recreational skiers that just want the skis to perform well (as long as I'm fastest) and be edged and smooth for all conditions.

Brush your skis from nose to tail, brush your partners from side to side.

@Adrian, I could always put gaff tape on them if he bombs past more than I'd like

I reckon a slathering of melted reblochon would do the trick. Thanks for the tip!
