    Default getting a little traction on my brush handles.

    my ultimate shaving love affair is with a wee scot.. the handle is quite small and once the lather gets going.. things can get slippery.. so i ended up wrapping a rubber band around the handle for a little better grip.. then i started thinking.. what's the stuff you dip tool handles in to coat them in plastic? do you think they have it in a more textured product? ideally i'd like to find something like that rhino liner stuff they use on truck beds.. what do you guys think?

    As a fellow wee scott user I can definitely feel where you are coming from.

    IMO the tool coating would still be slick, since it is a smooth surface. I like the idea of bed liner and I think you cand find it in spraycan versions at autoparts stores, if you had to by it by the pint or quart along with the application kit it might get cost prohibitive though. What if you take a bit from no slip floors, get yourself some epoxy, add somesort of grit, and apply to the handle. You could choose from any sort of material in a lot of different sizes for diffrent grip levels, and you could probably add some die to the epoxy to make some fancy designs.

    How about a few strips of skateboard tape wrapped around it?

    Works on everything else - cheap - easy to apply - and easy to remove if you change your mind.

    If you knew anyone who knows how to checker a gun stock ..... it would look good and be none slippery if it was a professionally done job. Might cost more than the brush did though.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    that's a great idea jimmy.. the brush itself was a gift from the wonderful people of srp. so although i paid nothing for it.. it is priceless as far as i'm concerned.. any modifications i make to it will only add to it's value.. i'm just hesitant to do something foolish that might ruin an otherwise wonderful brush.

    Thumbs up

    Interesting idea on the gun handle checkering. That would probably look wicked slick,even if it was expensive. Nice!
