Thread: What's with e-bay buyers?

Damn that's fine work! I like it better with the logo.

You may want to issue certificates basically containing your logo and a statement that it was restored by you. It's free advertising and it raises awareness.

I'd be proud to have a blade with that logo.

nah, I was just teasing you Hey, all my USA packages arrives in a week! I thought about some metal polish for the meathchopper, but I don't want to even do that, I like the patina on it, it's nice and uniform... But, I might PM you about some help finding some ebony or rosewood for its handles, I cannot locate that stuff here...

However, the logo thingie is acually a nice way to protect your work and further buyers. It just looks too space edge for me on a nice old blade like that... Maybe just your initials rendered in some stylish font??

I was not sure how extra etching on a blade was going to be received. It was a concern until now. Thanks for the positive sentiment on the mark, gentlemen. It puts my fears to rest.

I think the logo is pretty cool too. Did you figure out what it means? I know Nenad did not, he suggested I use my initals instead.

Nenad, the logo is my initials, rendered in a very stylish font .

If you look at the first spine from the left it is a stylized V, then you have the little circle which is the period after the V. Then you have the next two spines making a stylized S, followed by the next circle which is the period after the S. Which spells V.S., my initials.



Every one sees the spiral, most don't realize that it is my initials. I am hiding them in plain sight. I guess subconsiously I don't want my initials to stand out.

I am going to be including a letter of authenticity describing the restoration. The buyer of the W&B asked me if I have the letter because he wanted it sent with the razor. He'll be getting it in the mail separately. It was an unexpected request, I did not have one prepared. No one asked for one with Strat set and there it would have made more sense.

Almost forgot, Nenad if your razor has dark tarnish spots then unless you are ready to sand your razor, you should not polish it. You will find that the dark tarnish spots hide pitting. Light spots and uniform patina does not hide pitting underneath.

The spotted, darker variety is really thick oxidation under which you'll find very visible pitting. At least every time I cleaned the tarnish spots off I found pits.

Do I feel lame... To tell you the trouth, I did tryed to figure the logo out, but I was just out of bed, in 5am, so I gave up quickly. The two dots confused me... I think I wouldn't wigure it out anyways... The tarnish on my WB looks very uniform and not "heavy" so I don't think there is pitting underneath. When I get some nice camera, I'll snap a few pics...

You already know what I think...
