Thread: Blown Glass Brush Handles

REMEMBER!!!!!!!

All talk of sales to a PM.

Very cool indeed!
They sure beat the commonplace black and white resin handles...Ho hum!

Cool idea with endless possibilities: two words of caution: ergonomics and slippery hands. Actually that is 4 words.

WW,
Thus far, I haven't had any issues with slippage or ergonomics! If you have any suggestions on how I could improve either concern I would welcome your suggestions. I suppose I could affix a lanyard to the handle but it may detract from the aesthetics! Your thoughts???

Another awesome artisan shaving product. No lanyards please. We use S.R. because we like living on the edge. If you drop your glass blown brush, just sigh and order a replacement.

Feltspanky, I couldn't have said it better!
Thanks, Jim

Are beautiful handles,do not think they are practical tho.
Maybe get one as a collectable.
A member above states,Just order a Replacment? good knots do not come cheap,if it can be saved.
Great looking handles.

Well you have at least 2, maybe more brush experts in this thread so take my post with a grain of alum. I'm a sloppy shaver so there is water and soap everywhere. It looks like the handles you posted are ergonomic, the tapered middle. You could also maybe work with a light texture on the surface. I was fortunate to have a glass blowing company in a town I lived in for awhile and could watch the process (Orient & Flume) and see some works in person of Dale Chihuly). Ixnay the lanyard idea also. An original idea worth pursuing, good luck.

You could always place a line of Boron carbide every so many mm. That would make it non slip.
