    Default Dovo Gold Wash Durability

    Hello:
    Has anyone experienced the gold wash on a new Dovo coming off from being wiped with a cloth? Thank-you for reply.

    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

    Thanks for the link. So, one must be careful not to "wipe too hard" on the gold wash. Good to know. Maybe this thread will save someone's gold wash.

    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.
