I'm considering buying a vintage 1960's Gillette Slim Adjustable Aristocrat (gold) and am wondering if these were gold plated or gold washed (like the old Gillette Tech Gold's). Does anybody know? How durable is the gold finish? If it's pretty cruddy, how likely is it that I can clean it thoroughly without damaging the finish? Ultrasonic or no ultrasonic?
I usually follow the typical soak in hot water & dawn, then toothbrushing with scrubbing bubbles and possibly toothpaste. Sometimes CLR for stubborn mineral deposits.
