    Well, I'm disappointed. From the title I thought you made a brush either from an old fiddle or a handle that looks like a fiddle. Instead we get some plain old common looking handle anyone could make.

    I've got my razor addiction under control. I've got my soaps/creams addiction under control. I've got my strops addiction under control (pretty much). And now I have to see these gorgeous brushes being made by various members and I just saw the last of my skimpy ego fund go down the drain. There isn't a 12 step program anywhere in the world that is going to help me curb this affliction/addiction other than looking in the mirror twice a day and say in my grandmother's words, "don't you dasn't do that!".
