    What is that, porcelain? I think super glue could make a decent fix, maybe it's worth a try.

    Also, my condolences if it is beyond repair, it looks like it was a very nice handle.

    Ouch, sorry to see that happen. I guess there is little margin for error with a ceramic handle.

    would you soak the whole thing or just the bristles and let them wick it up?

    I suppose you could just soak the hair,I just submerge the entire thing in acetone,has had no effect on glazed porcelain or glass, at least with the few I have done YMMV

    Sorry about the damage, but you found some nice gear there! Oh and if you want, I can send you some nail clippers, maybe they broke too?
