Thread: i hate gold on razors!

a little bit of gold, maybe on to accent the engravings fine.

but wtf, did the people at dovo decide to make straight razors catering to rappers?

Vote with your wallet, don't buy the bling bling razors.

edit: I'll probably never buy a Wacker because most of them come with gold wash.

no more than $40 for the name brands

Hadn't noticed how much gold was on my Dovo until I got it. Doesn't really bother me but I bet it is a pain in the ass to maintain. Especially if you have to restore one.

Its the all new P-DIDDY DOVO

Its almost impossible actually. Rub the gold with any abrasive and it more or less disappears.

Maintenance is not an issue IMO, it should receive the same amount of care any other razor gets. However...I can't see gold wash lasting forever. Its only a micrometer thick and every time we wipe our razors off I imagine some of the gold goes with it.

I have to agree that I don't like gold on blades. I don't really like anything except etchings. I'm not really sure why, but I prefer a simple elegance in my blades. If you were to open my box of keepers, you'd find a lot of plain Sheffield blades with black horn scales.

I Agree

it's just cause you homies are poor and can't buy the good stuff. gary (traveller) agrees that once you have ten cubic feet of bullion and a couple of truckloads of dollar bills you automatically switch to framebacks with rhodium plated platinum frames.
of course, 1u of gold plating falls off by stareing at it, that's why the correct way is to have 1mm thick inlay of the pink gold.
engraving (i.e. removing of stuff) is for poor people, the good way is the exact opposit - you layer your bling on top of the other bling.

the way this thread is going next you'll telling me you don't like diamonds that spell yours and your lovers' names on your razors.... pft, even poor scale makers know to put a cheap jewel on their products...
