    I must admit I had never thought of having a razor engraved before but after seeing this Wolfman engraved by Otto Carter...I admit I am intrigued by it :)
    The Wolfman below is engraved with some gold inlays on the head.

    Maybe for a very special razor/occasion.

    Good luck affording his services. Otto is one of the few hand engravers willing to work with stainless steel.

    He's done some amazing work on vaping mods. The 'GG' by Imeo is one of his best:

    Edit: ...and now I suddenly think of an engraved black Blackbird, with an SR-71 motif.

    That's a great idea. If I had some offspring, that I knew of, I'd totally have a birth razor engraved for him. Maybe a wolfman actually. The razor - not the offspring.

    HOLY COW that work is incredible. That takes some seriously steady hands and great vision.

    I just sent him an RFQ to see if something like this is even within the realms of possibility (price wise). We'll see.... I'm guessing the price for the engraving will rival the cost of the razor though.

    Soooo....I heard back from Otto and the cost to have a razor engraved similar to the one showed here would be....about $1000.

    That is not too surprising. That is some serious man hours in them.

    That is a work of art though.

    If he hasn't already, I'm sure he'll add "cute" to the list of requirements for adoption. :p
