Water staining seems to be a recurring theme with new Dovo razors.
no wasn't stained out of the box but stained very quickly once used!
Some say use an eraser, try it but I never had any success. A rolled up ball of aluminium foil has worked wonders for me (thanks Olivia), or metal polish (Maas, Sidol).
never heard of the foil method, will try that and let you know!
Just tried the foil method, it works wonders!
Just make sure to keep clear of the edge. Anything abrasive enough to remove tarnish will dull the edge if applied carelessly.
If you have any honing paste left try some 0.5 diamond paste on a q-tip or a rag, very small amount. It worked wonders for my very shiny razor and did not leave scratches.

Be careful of the goldwash. Maas, etc. will take the goldwash right off.
