I'm not liking my razor with gold wash
I am very new to straight razor shaving and I have a dovo forestal. It is absolutely beautiful and I like the look very very much but I find I get paranoid over the gold wash. I detest wiping the blade and as a beginner, I don't want to be responsible for ruining such a beautiful razor in my opinion. It is enough that I'm probably going to sell my razor and use the money on another razor without gold wash. I'll probably get a boker edelweiss or 6/8 silver steel to ease my mind and not worry about polishing or wiping it. What is your experience with gold wash razors and do you like them?

I don't really love it, but .......... all of these razors are old. Some pre WWII, the Fritz Bracht Dovos, the Carbo Magnetic, the Boker, some from the fifties, sixties, and the TI are from the early 2000s. Had them all for years and never a problem with the goldwash. Just wipe with a tissue after you rinse.
