So I have purchased a razor with some engraving below the blade. If this is indeed not origional can it be removed without compromising the blade? I can post pic next week when the razor arrives.

"vintage J.A. Henckels twin works torpedo straight razor, made in solingen, germany. The case has seen better days, but does the job. the base blade is engraved on both sides below the blade itself on one side it says made in germany special for joseph app, buffalo, NY. on the other side it says The Knight and has a engraved knight figure. one of kind in good shape."

Thanks,
