    I never got gold wash either, I definitely prefer a clean blade. When it comes to scales I don't mind a design on it, for instance Traveller's embossed epoxy scales looked gorgeous.

    i feel the same i think gold wash is pointless, other than that i like just about every size shape of razor available.

    Some may call me crazy, but I just polished the graphics and gold washing off my brand new TI Pierre Thiers Limited Edition handforged razor last week. I think it looks better without, so out came the Dremel and it was gone in seconds.

    I think it looks much better plain.

    Talking of the TIPTLE, clearly many people like it and how it shaves, but I can't get around the fact that I think they looks ugly, as if something went wrong in the manufacturing process. I think it's because the edge looks straight but the spine doesn't.

    Apart from my custom, I do prefer simplicity on the whole. I like mirror finishes on round or spike point, with simple scales (but a bit of colour never goes amiss).

    I like them both. Either way, a nice razor is a nice razor.
