Any polish/method that is safe on the "Gold Wash" on str8??

[BladeRunner001]

Does anyone know of any polish/method that is safe on the gold wash on the face or spine of many str8 razors these days? I know that MAAS takes it right off.

Inputs will be appreciated

Thanks,

I do not think there is one.

glad you asked the question, i was wondering the same thing, so it appears a good thing that i prefer an unmarked blade and it will not be so difficult for me to remove it.

Nothing that I've found. Gold wash is not exactly tenacious.

THis may be a "try at your own risk" but i found a very mild silver polish that works great on gold plating as long as you don't scub it in and just do a mild polish with it. Its called Wright's silver cream and it can be found at walmart. You may want to try it on something old first

You are smarter than me my friend. But I've got 2 that I need to figure out what to do with (as far as polish)

I think you may be right...but, I had to ask anyway just in case someone had a miracle polish

I Hope you were not offended by my post, I was sincere in my thanks as i posted the complete flip side of that question a few days ago and was merely thanking you.

Ian,
Are you kiddin'?...no offense was taken my friend, but thank you for the concern...It's nice to know that there are people that still care about others . I know it's hard to read ones emotions online. But, I meant what I said: You are smart to stay away from Gold washes...without them, the razors are much easier to polish

Cheers,
Robert

Would you please show us some before and after pics demonstrating its effectiveness while preserving the goldwash? I don't want to risk MY razors

 

[Disburden]

I'm curious also, thanks!

Seriously ? What kind (with or without fluoride)?...I wouldn't want to put the "whitening" ones to the test since they contain peroxide and we know that's a very strong oxidant.

Has anyone tried those ultrasonic jewelry cleaners?
I've seen them at Bed Bath and Beyond, and I believe they're supposed to be very gentle.

Hi Pelicano,
I heard about them too...but, I am somehow a little hesitant to use it. I think the Gold Wash on these razors is rather "soft" and ultrasounds may just rip the wash right off, albeit gently (unless, someone has already figured the time cycle)...But even then, I think it may be additive effect.

I saw this post just today
