Good evening all.
Just wanted to ask this question out of curiosity. Is there a particular kind of 'grip' that is preferred on razor handles? Such as barber pole, knurled or smooth? Obviously my 39c Sledgehammer has the barber pole grip and to me it does the job well enough.
Also I wonder why there is no standardised grip design on razors. So why should one razor have a knurled grip while another one (such as the Merkur Futur) have a smooth grip? And why do some razors have the barber pole grip? Bit of an oddball question I know but just came to mind while browsing different razors.
Jason.
