Indeed. But look at the PJ shaped long handles. Floris, or the Shavemacs. Even the PJ itself. Just as much function, without any of the ugly.... -Mo
In Praise of the Polo handle! The Persian Jar is definately more beautiful than the Polo, but still I believe the latter to be the better brush. There actually IS a functional difference between the two handles: the polo handle is slightly top-heavy, which makes for an easier whipping action in the bowl. The PJ is lighter and more balanced, but it isn't the ultimate lather whipping tool my polo is. Plus, a polo is denser and has a shorter loft, which makes it equally good for use with creams AND soaps. The PJ is more of a cream brush IMO. For an allround, superior quality shaving brush, The Simpson polo 8 best is hard to beat IMHO.
