    Now thats what I call a long handled brush.
    Long handled brushes are the best.
    Go for it...

    I always thought my Big Pro was at the extreme of brush size with a 3" handle and 2½" loft. Just thinking out loud, how do you see yourself gripping it? Something that long might be unwieldy with the usual base of brush in palm and fingers gripping all round sort of hold.

    If it fits in your hand, it's a good design. You are only limited by your imagination.....

    I already came up with 3 names for it :<0) It is cool, new,original. What more could you ask for ? I am a long brush nut myself.
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    only thing i'd consider is a flat bottom so you can set it down or at least a flat edge so it doesn't roll away. JMHO

    As long as you can hold it and move it around it's ok.
    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.
