MAAS is a metal polish. It comes in a tube i bought mine at wal-mart but i have seen it other places. It somes in a tube about the size between a travel tube of tooth paste and a regular tube. You can find it in the cleaning isle.

Rubbing alcohol would be fine, at least on chrome/nickel plated razors. Don't know if it affects the laquer on gold plated razors, since I've never tried it.
The whole idea behind gold plating something (besides making it look like goooooooold) is protecting it from tarnish and corrosion (an olde-tyme stainless steel, if you will).
Because gold reacts with very few elements, I would think a complete gold-plated finish (i.e., not flaked anywhere) would be fine to treat with everything short of acid (and even there I would bet it wouldn't harm a full finish).
I've heard good things about soaking a TTO or adjustable in mineral oil to help with the action. Can anyone comment on this?
