A new handle idea

I had this idea that popped in my head that I think would be kinda cool.

Have an acrylic handle where the bottom can screw on/off and has interchangeable core like things that have different patterns Like an image of your choice then would show through the outside.

Also you could make it solid in the middle and have a space in between to stick stuff in their for example.

A rolled up $ bill
A printed image of your choice on a small piece of paper that would fit
Water with different color dyes

So what do you think about this idea or maybe a more improved one??

that made me think of a handle that could have interchangeable tops. that way you could shave with a different type of brush using one handle.

Actually, I have a vintage handle that does exactly that. It is in my pile of handles waiting to be restored. I've been trying to figure out what to put in the handle when I get it done. It is a pretty cheap handle and I don't recall it having a brand name stamped anywhere on it.

Well, a custom trimmed block of alum might be nice. On the other hand, traveling with something in there might trigger some unpleasant incidents if you encounter a sharp-eyed customs official at the border.
 
That's kind of a cool brush.

I had another idea use those clear stickers with the design on the sticky end like the car window ones.

Too put it on the inside of the acrylic handle.
 
I took some better pictures of my brush last night. It is pretty small inside, just big enough to fit my fingertip inside. But it was plenty of room to put a small picture in as suggested above. I tried a blade wrapper and it worked great. I've got a lot of polishing to do on the exterior to make it nice and clear, it looks like someone was chewing on it! Definitely room for improvement on this design, like a bigger cavity to put bigger things into it.

That's much better. I didn't think about the top part being a different material to have to hold the knot.

Also I didn't think about how small brush handles actually are so my idea only has certain limits.
