Etching design preferences

[Leon]

Hi.

What are your preferences and taste concerning the etching of the blade?
Do you like it simple or fancy?
In gold or other strong colors or in plain silver?
What themes do you like? Antique/vintage or modern?

Personally I like the "Sello de Oro" of the Filarmonicas. I also fancy most of the Thiers-Issard etchings.

I like both fancy and simple, as long as the etching is tasteful and clean. I do not like gold though... leave it silver for me.

For me, the fancier the blade decoration, the better! No gold, though. I like nice script, ornate borders, and different colors.

I'm not fond of etching and certainly not gold wash. If anything, something simple like "Celebrated Hollow Ground" that we often see on the old W&B's or something like that. Something nostalgic might catch me.

I like a worked spine but otherwise for a razor in daily use the plainer the better.

I like ETCHING!

Fancy is probably my top like..
Plain is good also.
I like silver..Gold wash always comes off in use.
Is there a way to protect the gold wash?
