The Varlet

Pretty much how hold brushes. Enjoy the Ranger in my rotation ergonomically if not the favourite brush

Thanks for the input!  Appreciate it!

I just tried holding all of mine like that. I say either Ranger or Mega.

Many thanks for the input!!  Mega looks stunning too.  Decisions Decisions

Have an acquaintance on here having purchased the Beehive, found it so incompatible with his ergonomic preferences, sold it almost immediately.  He may or may not chime in. Will alert him to the enquiry

many thanks for this,  now this post really concerns me, since we are talking of a $500 brush.  This leans me a bit more to the range,  i need something safe since I wont be able to sell it since this will be one my wife's 10 year anniversary gifts)

Ranger is great. Mega is great. Gaslamp is great. Although I know people that dislike all of these too so

Cauldron looks the safest from an ergonomic perspective. Very clean and simple with no ridges that some may find uncomfortable

I agree with all of this, though the Gaslamp is my least favorite of the handles so far. I don’t dislike it, I just don’t like it as much as the others. I think the Mega is an underrated handle shape. And the Orion is possibly the most underrated handle shape of all. You’re right about getting multiple perspectives.

I love my mega. Very comfortable the way I hold a brush.




Always love helping out how I can.

all of you guys were super super helpful! this forum is full of many great and helful folks! I went with Ranger 29mm (traditional knot HD) in ivory matte finish. Just to keep it classy.

Great choice. The low light ivory is terrific.

I tried searching through google and his page, but cant find a pic of a Matte Cement finish (even better if its a ranger cement matte, but any model would work). Does anyone have Varlet Cement Matte that can share a pic?
