That is actually lazer engraved in an off-hand font. My wife agree's with you. Just because the 2 of you agree doesn't make either of you right.

Between me and you..I don't like the font either, I thought it looked like magic marker writing

Natural color is grey, so I added some of my own

What an awesome looking razor!

Big plus for those finger notches. I love the look of them.

Thanks Bob. I thought it was magic marker also, or just a paint shop edit to mark your photos. All of the craftsmanship looks really good. I look at it as a path to perfection. Keep them coming!

How do you go about adding color and will this work for bone as well?

Magic marker, they come in a wide variety of colors, Ritz dye, wood stains, coffee, tea, kool-ade, wine...pretty much anything you wouldn't want to spill on the carpet

I love the blade and the scales. I will tell to all that will listen that no one makes a full hollow like Bob. I usually tend towards a 1/4 to 1/2 hollow but I love the shave I get off of the razor I got from Bob. It is a super hollow ground and a perfect shave.

I think this razor should go on tour to all SRP members with 1 year of membership, to try out that finger notch!!! YEAH RIGHT

That came together beautifully.
Great blade+wonderful scales=suberb razor.
