I'd like your opinion, do you like being able to see the knot through the clear handle or would you prefer to have the knot hole painted? Thanks, oscar11
I was going to vote unpainted but then I started thinking about soap gunk over time... So, painted is my vote...
That's a little different and I like it just because of that but jbooth is probably right about the soap gunk after some use.
I think unpainted, but would it be possible to rough it up so it is translucent, but not transparent?
Painted with a color that matches the blue of the handle if possible. It does look kind of neat in the raw like that, but a little too busy.
It's so cool being clear though. It would be neat with a reverse painted design on the inside ;-) Now I'll be looking at antique stores for me one! Hopefully on the cheap!
My initial response is painted. But I also think it would be kind of cool if you could paint just enough to cover the base of the knot so that all you see are the bristles through the handle.
