I would love to do something high class with the layered ivory acrylics like they used on a Rooney shave brush (http://www.bruceonshaving.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Rooney-Small-Style-1-Best-Shaving-Brush.jpg) i have. However my biggest qualm with white keys is that they have to be cleaned way too often or they begin to look pretty nasty.
