This question is mostly for Bill Ellis (urleebird) and any serious restoration artists that have done this level of work but I thought I'd post it publicly in case anyone else is interested.

I'm interested in how to put designs onto the spines of a str8 when I'm restoring it.

I've got some str8's in the restoration box that have some rust/pitting on the spine. Since I'm going to have to try to smooth it out a bit, AND since this lot of razors only cost me 5 bucks (so I'm not out a lot if I screw up). I want to try adding some nice design work on the backsides. I figure it will give the razors some appeal if n when I give them away. I'm working on 2 razors right now I'm giving the brother-in-law and if I can get good enough to put a nice design on the spine that would be some really sweet spice to the deal.

Thanks in advance for any advice, instructions, tools requirements, how-to sheets, faqs, etc.
