I put nickel at the top of the ballot, and after I voted it’s at 100%! Warm look, durable, practical, affordable.
Bright nickel gets my vote. I love the shine, exactly the right balance between shiny and matte

+1 for Nickel.
Nickel has to be my all time favorite, mostly for durability. Gold and rhodium are next in line.

I have a Gillette New Short Comb re-plated in rhodium. It is extremely beautiful. But I’m not changing my vote. @Northstonehill put it perfectly.
And my (admittedly few) nickel razors match the LOTH’s taste in bathroom fixtures. I’m not sure I could afford to have the den re-done in rhodium.
Anything but gold.

Silver, white as rhodium but antibacterial.

I hadn’t thought about that aspect.
I voted for nickel because it looks great and it also durable!
Nickel, Gold, Rhodium, Platinum. That's what I like.
I voted Rhodium because these razors are dazzling.

Platinum must be very classy, nice and white but not as shiny as rhodium. Like nickel if it moved to the high rent district. Do you have a photo to post?

And heavy/dense, if I remember my lessons.
Gold. It just has an elegant appearance.
