Don't take this the wrong way but...

It appears this issue really bothers you.

If that's the case contact the folks you bought it from. They are the ones to discuss this with. We really can't...

There are some razors with gold on the spine and in those cases we usually tape over the spine to protect it while honing. The tape may take some gold off but it's the lessor of two evils there.

I don't doubt it. New though it should be perfect. if it bothers you return it for another.

The coating is a wash and is very fragile. If you use the razor often eventually it will come off unless you really baby it. Any rubbing or metal cleaner will remove it almost instantly.
