    Default Help me choose

    I just bought my first razor and upon receiving it, the scales will be removed and it will be given a face lift. There are a bunch of scales out on my shop just waiting. My issue now is choosing a brush. I've turned quite a few and like them all equally, which would choose?

    it's all personal preference... but my vote is the fifth from the left ... reminds me of a chess rook or something, pretty cool

    They are all very nice, but I would avoid one with a squared top.

    By the way, these handles are all close to being finished but not quite there yet. They still lack a bit of trimming and need to be sanded and polished to an obscene grit.

    hmm..thats a hard task! Personaly i had to feel it in my hands to choose one..but if i couldn't, and have to choose one..maybe the number 2 or 6 from the left..or 4 ( i like the wood).. if i have problems in helping you choose one..imagine to choose my scuttle from george town pottery!!! it was a thing that last days!..by the way i end up with choosing the "green" one!
    Ps - now looking better i will pick up the..i like things very "minimalistic" so i would go for the 6 from the left..but shes kind a small..you have to put a small brush in it to be well balanced i guess..
    Good luck with the choice!

    Same here. I love that Simpson Persian jar handle look.

    Interesting perception and I would agree. Have you given any thought to turning a handle to resemble chess pieces? I think a rook or bishop would be a custom brush handle I would be interested in.
