Would you put your initial on your razor?

**Johnus** · 09-09-2012, 02:15 AM

I usually place my name on my travel items. Not that I would expect to get them back if taken, I do it just to inspire guilt in the person who took them.

Never thought about it until I saw your thread. Hmmm, I guess it might be cool to have my initials somewhere on the tang if I ever get a custom.... Now that's food for thought!

Would it be considered as a sacrilege and ruin it for the next person/ generation or it'll add character to it?

Have you bought/ would you buy razors with initials on it?

Thanks

If only I had a cool name like Birnando, now that razor looks seriously cool mate with the funky font and everything.... Doubt it would look as good with 'Ash' inscribed.....

Yes, and I did.

I don't see an issue with it. Unless of course you're in the habit of flipping razors on a constant basis, then it could pose a problem. But if you intend to keep a particular razor for life why not initial it so it can be passed on to sons and grandsons and be a reminder of the old man? After all, these pieces of steel will still be around long after all of us are gone.

If I see a used one with initials on it it adds value in my opinion. I wonder who H.S. or J Johnson was. It brings an inanimate object to life.

My initials might lower the value though...

T.B.

You may be right! Anyone with the initials HEPC or HIV may also want to heed your advice

It might keep someone from stealing it though!

Coolest initials I've ever had was a Wade & Butcher with initials and 1864 scratched in the scales

Thanks for the input guys...maybe it's a good idea to do it properly and pass the razor down as family heirloom. So far I've yet to have a son....lucky for u guys who have...

Be careful of what you wish for! Especially during the teenage years they can be a mixed blessing.

That's exactly why I decided to ask Joe to put my name on it. Even if I don't have any sons, I know my little brother will and he might even know about'em
