Did you know? All Merkur razors in gold are gold plated in a galvanic bath (not just gold colored). Gold plating is done over a nickel layer and we are talking about 14 carat, hard-gold plating (technical term for a method where other components like cobalt, silver and copper come with the gold) to give not only the warm shine but also being hard enough not to come off.
