Hey, y'all! I have tried to think of the most polite way to ask a question about brush handles. I am not being flippant about anyone's handle, may I ask about the handles that come from the most famous brands.
Now, gently, of the modern handles are made (not including , ivory, bakelite, the antique or animal horns) are made out plastic. From the ones that I have seen they are plastic, no? Please correct me if I am wrong.
Most plastics (Eric worked in plastic and injection molding and medical products for 20 yrs) cost virtually a penny a piece. A penny if they are in quantity, etc.
It is a penny to produce with a great knot. If you buy in many items at a time, the price at production costs maybe $10 if we are being generous with the production amount, Which is a 95 % mark up for retail. (If I've boogered up the math, plz excuse).
Is it the name? Are the handles perfectly molded? Is it the feeling like a part of community that everyone has one and we can talk about them? Getting all the toys?
Enquiring minds are puzzled.
ps we haven't been out and about, Eric had a medical problem that was unknown until we got to the ER and it nearly ended his life.
