Has anyone on here had their razor laser engraved or do you know of anyone who has? I have one in town but I want to know if it is possible and how it turned out.

I haven't, but I was told that there are plans for a homemade electrochemical etcher online. I was thinking of finding them to make one, but I have a couple of friends who can laser etch I might see if they would do a one-off. Thanks for the idea.
Some scale material can be lasar engraved but not the blade.

Hardened steel? I would think you would need an industrial type laser to do that.
Quite true, and even if a local facility existed, I imagine the cost would be prohibitiveQuote:

"Certified" diamonds -- good ones -- usually get their serial number engraved (by laser) around their girdle.Quote:

But it is pretty cool!
i say get it laser etched to minimize the chances of damage either when being held in the machine or by the probe hitting the blade
custom Knife makers do fantastic work with acid etching on blade surfaces.
On one of the forums, I don't recall which, I saw a seven day set of Hart razors with the days of the week on the spine. I don't remember if the process was mentioned or if the engraver was identified, but it may have been the linked vendor, who I understand is no longer in business.
Anyway, it appears it can be done.
It can be done and has been done, look for a razor that belongs to a member Ookla or something like that. I think Tim/oldblades did that.
