I use a rubbery scraper. It's about 40cm long, the soft rubber bit is about 10cm deep. It's lasted years and the material makes it good for cleaning the inside of the window of condensation, yet it's bulky enough that it'll shovel the snow off the outside in seconds.

Only falls down a bit when it's hard ice on the window, but then I doubt a brush would help, and I wouldn't want to be attacking it with something hard either. When it's like that I just let the car run a couple of minutes and chuck some deicer on it.

The brush above have an  icescraper in one end :)

I work from home, order takeaways in bad weather and get shopping delivered from Tesco if it lasts more than a few days, all this beating the elements sh*t is for saps.

If the weather is that bad that you can't get out how are Tesco or the local Curry Garden going to deliver to you? Or are you basically saying f**k the rain? :)

Last year during the bad weather my street which is quite steep was like a ice rink for a good 5-6 days and nobody even attempted to move a car, the Tesco van parked on the main road at the end of my street which had been gritted and carried the stuff the 250-300m to my door lol I did feel a bit of a sod after for not tipping him :P

Local takeaway drivers always find a way they are like Mounties!
