It looks like it should have a prominent spot in the Louvre.

I am afraid to ask, but throwing good judgement to the winds, "Why, what have you been smoking?"

Phenonomenal latherer! Interesting to the hand for the first time, but even with its unique form it is a pleasure to use! The silvertip hair is absolutely, indisputably, first class! Heavenly

Looks beautiful Ron, but be careful, that thing could poke an eye out.

Hey Ron, how do you hold this baby when you're mixing in the bowl and then applying the lather to your face? It seems a bit awkward to me.

Greetings Cliff,
I was just chatting with a friend about the handle (une pipe). At first I was uncomfortable about using it. After whipping up a batch of almond cream lather, it was the most natural, comfortable handle going. The one thing I had to be careful of was banging it too hard on the Mikasa Yardley pattern cereal bowl in which I build my lather. The badger is exquisite!

Thanks! You can see my initial comments to Cliff. I really enjoyed using it. I am going to break with rotational discipline and use it for a few days straight, (ahem) of course ensuring that it drys adequately each evening before reuse!

I was typing my answers to Cliff and you while you were asking the question I guess I only subjectively answered.

Think of the pipe as a telephone handset. Works great and as comfortable as can be. Mme. Ranger nee Malka did a wonderful job with neither artistry nor engineering suffering for the other.
