Thread: What about a handle like this?

I should be picking up a new brush tomorrow. The handle was adapted from a victorian sterling silver cutlery set, so it looks very extravagant. 6" long, including the actual bristles.

post a pic when it comes in.

How about this style? the color is just to show contrast and different shapes.

I would prefer it with the green section and the first pink ring missing, ie the red bit joined onto the light blue/pink/blue bit.

I like long handled brushes - I use one myself. You will find that this type of handle was very common once, long ago - a lot of old barber supplies catalogues show them.

like this?

Yes - maybe with a little 'easing' or finessing of the red bit where it joins the light blue stem and possibly the stem being a bit longer. I think that red/green/pink/blue is another style that is attractive.

+1, I do leave a brush to dry overnight hanging, but once that is done they stand on the bottom. Love longer handles BTW, have Simpson Polo, and a Rooney something or other with long handles.
