    It is a lovely razor! Definitely looks like it was gold-washed, but gold does not stick readily to steel - it needs a layer of another metal that does stick to steel between it and the gold - usually nickel, sometimes copper. If it did have a layer of nickel plating, you should be able to see it on the razor as a dull greyish area. Without another metal between it and the steel, gold can be rubbed off on your finger.

    Regards,
    Neil
