yea its a bit smaller in person.. its soo expensive new! i'm glad i got a great deal on it. i play classical guitar (rock, folk, and some flamenco) so i got my thumb nail under that blasted black rubber band and ripped it off. i found a tiny bit of red rust but i wiped most of it off. i'm scared to put any fitz or polish in general because i'm scared of damaging the gold wash.. :X she is indeed a beautiful blade!

Please always check under the rubber finger grip after each shave to make sure that this area is clean and dry. I treated mine with TufGlide to add further corrosion resistance.

Other than that you don't need to do anything special to it during the shave. Just make sure that the blade is free from soap residues (rinse under hot tap) and allow the blade to dry thoroughly (leave razor open for about 15 - 30 minutes) before you put the razor away. You can optionally give the blade a wipe over with a corrosion inhibitor (TufGlide, mineral oil, camelia oil etc) after it is dry.

Have fun !

Best regards

i bought the blade off another gentleman that never removed the rubber grip, there was a little bit of red rust but not a lot. i rubbed most of it off with a paper towel. is there anyway to remove the remaining rust with out removing the gold wash?

No but you can convert it from active red to black rust with some phosphoric acid or similar. Just be careful with the rest of the razor.
