Hello:

I have a Dovo Special. No problem with gold wash coming off when wiped down to dry which I do often.
Don't use polishing componds on it though! Least not on the gold wash.
I have a feeling your talking about my Bismarck i posted :) well needless to say when u first get one dont wipe the tang very hard or the goldwash on it will come off( i think the fact that the word bismark on the tang is engraved so maybe it doesnt hold the gold as well) anyway the goldwash on the blade itself is pristine .
Also heres a review on it and some people do say not to rub the tang very hard either Dovo Bismarck - The Shave Den
My Bismark that I bought new is doing the same...still shaves great though!
The only problem I've had with any of my Dovo's is that I had a spec of gold come off the first time I wiped off Lynn's oil. The size of the lost gold was only the size of a pinhead on blade....manufacturer's defect I suppose. Other than that, not a single problem.
I use soft, well-worn t-shirt scraps on my Dovo. When drying, I pat rather than wipe. I only wipe when removing oil, and then don't pinch.
I have always wondered how careful you have to be with the goldwash. It does not seem to be very "solid" to me. Does anyone know how it is applied?
I can't remember, but perhaps this may reveal the method.
