What's your favorite handle in your den?

Whatever happened to Panta Rei? Was all the rage for awhile.

Not sure. I think they still exist, albeit limited during these pandemic days. Their an Italian business, no?

I found their Etsy page, so they still have product. No crown of thorns handle, but they do have a neat 'La Pieta' for anyone looking for similar. I'd be lying if I said it was as cool looking as that, though.

They are all hand-painted, yes?

Thanks for sharing Edmond_Dantes . Some great looking brushes there.

Panta Rei is indeed both Italian and active - here is the website:

Also supposed to make very good soaps and splashes...

Love the hand painting. What material is the handle? Knots any good

Passed the site to Enzo. Now THAT is how one promotes a brand!

A little off topic, but speaking of Munch - a version during COVID:

I'll see your Munch and raise you a Van Gogh.


[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]I have relatively simple tastes.
My favourite handle on a brush that I own is on the Stirling 2-Band synthetic:

A great grip, and I'm never going to drop it when i flick excess water off it. The simple black and off-white scheme and rounded hourglass shape looks like something from the 1930s or so.

A Simpson Eagle G3 would be nice to have too.

And of course an Ever Ready 100T.

But keep it out of the wind, right?   

I tend to favour short brush handles, because I keep my thin-walled stainless steel lather bowl floating in the sink of hot water, which works like a modern-style scuttle. Long handles cause it to capsize unless I balance it such that the knot is out of the bowl.
I really should just get a large Moss Scuttle for the bigger brushes.

I'm going to repost this one from Ncardny:

SOTD November 12 Birthday Shave!
Brush: Dean Markwalter Dragon
Razor: Rocnel 2019 Elite A
Blade: Personna SS
Soap and AS: Noble Otter Rawr

This is my favorite handle at the moment.

I can not decide on only one. These are my two current favorite handles
