That is why many of us wish they wouldn't bother with it. Any razor I have with gold wash I just resign myself that it is going to be getting thin in some spots and will disappear in others. Seems to me the older ones had a better wash on them but maybe I'm just being nostalgic. None of it seems to last 100% if you use and handle them.
