Need a woman's opinion.

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to find a very pretty piece of pink laminated wood in the perfect size to be turned down into brush handle. Last week, I used RR Mughetto di Bologna and found it wasn't for me, but wifey went bananas for the scent. I thought it would be a great gift to give her a nice brush and the soap. I have a great skilled friend (AceByTerror) who can create very beautiful brushes on his lathe.

My question to you is, what handle shape do the ladies tend to like? Is there a favorite? She has smaller hands so I'm not sure which way to go. I personally think keyhole or classic Kent shape would be nice!
I plan on putting in a Very nice TGN Silvertip, possibly a medium to large bloomer, something REAL plush. I'm open for ideas from anybody man or woman.

A long handle will be practical for a woman's brush. As far as shape is concerned..... whatever suits the material.

I own over 30 brushes. Ergonomically and aesthetically the M7 is my all around favorite handle, followed by my Emperor 3.
I wear a size 6.5 in gloves, which is another way to say my hands are small.

i would have to agree with Connie as the longer handles brushes are preferred for the legs.

An Emperor style handle is a perfect idea.

+1 on the M7 or E3 shapes.

I'm male, but I've long thought that the Persian jar was the most elegant (simple, formal, yet sophisticated).
