Which handle would you chose?

[M_bisco]

Hi guys,

I was going to purchase a Duke 3 in 2-band with a jade handle from the simpson website but i have recently worked something out with Lee at M&F.
I'll be getting a brush in the Rooney Heritage 2XL style and now i've just got to chose the handle that i want.
I've got to chose from the following and i'm leaning towards the blue swirl handle.

Let me know your opinions!

Are we talking about just color or style? I'd go for the standard ivory/off white or jade. The butterscotch is okay too..... but not my favorite. The rest are pretty terrible.

I vote butterscotch. Then second choice is ivory.

 

[M_bisco]

My 1st choice would be the jade but i really want a stubby handle.

 

[wsteineker]

You're going with that stubby two ring design, yes? If so, I'd say ivory, then butterscotch, then growing a beard to avoid using any of the other options.

Get whatever suits you. You may find the L7 style much more comfortable than the Stubby-style handle.
i would go with Butterscotch/Ivory/rainbow-colour; all three with different handles then you can determine which best suits you.

FWIW, of the "less popular" handle styles, I kinda dig the blue and orange ones....just my two cents.

I'd almost feel like the L7 handle shape is a must.

The black and pink gets my vote for colour - there are plenty of boring brush handles out there, why get a custom that matches everyone else's stock handle?

I'm going to be calling on Lee for an L7 in the coming weeks, and I like the ivory, jade, and tortoise. Maybe I'll get two. That jade L7 looks nice.

The jade really look awesome...

black & orange

I'd like to have an L7 style handle someday. Maybe in faux horn, jade, or just plain ivory.

beige pearl/horn. 2nd from right. no question. (for me). but that blue is so unique and a cool blend. i'd also want a black pure badger with that grey handle. lol

The black and blue striped one is awesome!

 

[jazzguy]

I really wish I hadn't seen those pictures. I suggest you get the butterscotch.

This guys vote (the horn-looking one), followed by second row left in the triangle (black and grey)

 

[Snargle]

I'd go with either the blue swirl or the horn. I'm not much into the bright, multi-color look...although some of my restored vintage brushes are a little loud!

I apologize if this is rude but I have some quick questions. How do I order one? What is the density compared to Simpson's? I like a few of these a LOT.
