Who has brush or razor handle envy? The hand-turned brush handle, an ornate Gem, intricate scales on straights, unusual materials... there are many masterpiece handles in traditional wet-shaving. Let us celebrate them here & see some great pics! Bring a spittoon ya'll, cuz there's gonna be a whole lotta droolin' going on!
I definitely love nice brush handles & admire the folks who make their own. Here are 2 made by our own Stonyloam & PIF'd to me.

I've been turning wood and plastics for years. I've made hundreds of pens, shift handles, bowls, door knobs, etc. but have never even thought about making brush handles. I don't know why, just never thought of it. I wish I had never seen this thread. I think I'm about to drive the wife crazy again. lol

Sounds so much cooler than what I've been saying ("criss-crossy pattern"). I believe there's a Bulldog 2 in the works. To borrow from the FacialCarnage Lexicon, that would be Bombdiggity!!
