    Default Glass Handle?

    Anyone here made a brush with a glass handle? I'm acquainted with a great glass blower, and am considering commissioning him to make me a brush handle (that I have to be REALLY careful with)

    I always like the handle of the B&B Esential and thought it would look nice in glass. The shape, and color (Maybe a smoked glass type deal) would look nice. Good luck and be careful when you get it.

    I have been having the same thoughts, I would really like one in crystal with a nice pattern.

    A google search brought up a couple:

    I am sure a glass handle will look nice, but for me, it would probably be broke before it saw much use.

    Waterford made a crystal set, Razor handle and brush.
    I've seen one here on the BST in the past.

    Looks like this;

    I've come across some before from Steam Punk Glass, thought they looked pretty cool.

    Is there any chance for microwaving glass handle? IMO this method makes us to spend less water which is liked by "greens"
