Blown Glass Brush Handles
Gents,
Several months ago I decided to make some blown glass brush handles. Thus far I have made three. All are very time consuming but "I think" the end result is somewhat unusual and different. They can be made in almost any color and pattern combinations.
Thanks for looking, comments are welcome.

Very good idea you have there!
Personally I wouldn't dare using one in glass because I'm sure to break it (for the same reason I don't want ceramic handles).
Why don't you try a translucent one ? You can make it a bit more opaque around the knot.

Like 'em, specially with the longer handles and the nice color work.
Use good knots!! Looks like too much work to not go with a HMW or Grade A fo sho!

I would be a little scared of breaking one, as I would be gutted if I did as they look fantastic, congrats on the finished goods

These look great! A very unique touch to a traditional shaving tool. Run with it!
