Ran into this W&B and found it kinda fascinating, first razor I bought this year. I've seen blades etched with Washington, Napoleon, branding for various hotels and hardware stores, souvenirs of the world expo, German cities, ships, etc. Compared to making a razor it was cheap to etch one so I imagine they put whatever they figured would sell. But from the look of it Mackenzie wasn't even prime minister yet when this was sold, I wonder if some of his friends had it made for his campaign as a joke? Guy was so humble he turned down a knighthood multiple times, probably the last person to put his face on stuff: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Mackenzie_(politician)

What are some of the most interesting razor etches you've seen? Share pics of your favourites!
