Made a new brush...opinions wanted

[stich]

They aren't dark at all. Thats a result of my poor camera and even poorer picture taking ability. They are much brighter, bright brushed aluminum is more like it.

Either way, they're beautiful!

Stitch - Real nice work on all accounts, although I must admit I don't care for the aesthetics of the 'space handle'. The Chubby is more up my ally.

Maybe if I had a gigantic head or was lathering my whole body it would be fine.

Ha ha. That's a good one.

The chubby does look nice, too. I was concerned that the material wouldn't match the shape. Looks good.

K.T.

I really like them!, but since you want negative comments , I will provide some.

I would think that I would burn my hand if the handle was sitting in the hot water. I know you are only supposed to dunk the brush, but sometimes the handle gets wet.

For the person concerned about it being slippery, you could make a knurled one.

They really do look nice though. Good job!

The only negative I can think of is that Aluminum makes a good heat sink material. It might not keep the lather as warm. Just a thought.

Good point...if you keep your brush in hot water for a long time, it may get a touch warm, but there is a lot of aluminum there. I think blood_type_O is right, the aluminum would probably dissipate the heat before the handle became hot. I never had problems with my other aluminum handle, and I have some pretty hot tap water. If you use a scuttle though, there may be some heat issues. Wish I had one to test.

When you're ready to take orders, I have a two Dirty Bird scuttles - a 1.5X bowl-type, and a brush scuttle (happy fathers day to me!). I'll let you know

That chubby handle looks great! Got any plans to try a tulip?

 

[olblueyez]

The handles look very nice. Any way you could flip the space capsule and turn it into a glass jar?

Stich made me this 2 handles and sent them to London.
This is how they look like after blooming.

Thank you Stich for your craftsmanship.

For the Space capsule I use the TGN “UK-24mm Silvertip Badger Hair Knot” but is no longer available, and [FONT=&quot]on the Chubby I use TGN “24mm Silvertip Grade A” [/FONT]

The universe is telling you to go to St James and buy a new brush.

Okay, the "space capsule" looks very much like my Century 1000 handle. I like them both. Price?

Just my $.02.
