Look at it this way ....many years from now,you'll be long dead and molderin and some young guy will find your razor in an antique store with the gold wash all gone and probably a few slight pits. He'll say hey! That's cool looking . He'll buy it take it home and fix it up and think to himself "wonder who the fella was that used this cool old vintage razor...so see, it won't matter in the great cosmic scheme O things . Use it and enjoy !!
