I haven't really paid much attention to this when I browse through new razors but I'm curious if any current razor manufacturers or custom 'razorsmiths' use pressed horn? I'm thinking of something similar to the old Wostys with "the original pipe razor" pressed into the scales. I love the look and I wonder why no one does this anymore. (they might, I just haven't noticed it)

Also, on a related note it seems like the creativity is way down in new razors as far as commemorative designs and special etchings. Much of what I see is gold wash that fades over time although there are SOME in this department. I assume in some part it is because of much lower demand these days but I think it would go over well if Dovo of TI would do a little more of this.

Any thoughts?
