We've been at it for a while. Started looking for more traditional materials to work with in july of 2014. Came across Ebonite. Locaded suppliers in Japan and Germany. Turned the handles in the photo below in September 2014. Lots of twists and turns since then, but we've never given up.

That last one looks incredible! It reminds me of Fordite. If you've never seen it, look it up. It's made up of layers upon layers of spray paint that built up on the walls of old car factories throughout the decades. Pretty cool stuff, not cheap though! I wonder if you could even find a chunk big enough to make a brush handle out of...

Thanks, and yes, we were looking at Fordite also two years ago. My son had just graduated from KU's Industrial Design program and was especially interested in materials. That's one he surfaced, and we had the same thought when we first turned into the piece you referenced (that was early this year).

Appreciate the props gentlemen. Used it today and it gave me a very nice lather. As with all of the Paladins I've bought this year, no scritch whatosever. Just a beautiful, soft knot with fantastic backbone.
