We have been playing around with mixing satin finishes and polished finishes. Comment with your opinion.

I'd need to experience the satin solid bar under the polished cap to see if the difference in drag made a statistically significant difference. I will admit having been very surprised how materials and their surfacing really do make changes I can feel and the results in cutting.

Visually? Very nice.

Playing over a satin finish. Hmmm. I'm not sure...

I have another question however, but not about the finish stated in this thread, or maybe it is, indirectly.

I like gold. I want, but am not yet ready to buy, an SE1-2. Do you have any plans in offering them with a gold plated finish?
 
My Merkur Futur is a gold plate, and the first experience I was referencing, in my post above. Nothing else has felt like it. But, it is entirely possible it is a lacquer applied after plating?

First two photos - Home Run. Last two - the handle just doesn’t do it for me. I just like knurling. Smooth razor handles are just begging to be dropped IMO. Perhaps the contours of the last one will help though.

Send it my way, I’ll give it a test drive :laugh:

As of now, no. But I will definitely pass along your request. Thanks for your comment and happy shaving!

I know that the razors we have replated are sealed, but I don’t know about the Merkur. I’m sure they do something though otherwise the plating would wear off.

Fumbling about.
I like the look of the pictured razors.

I'm not in the market for safety razors (and already have some great ATT razors), but I don't see any plating options. Where are they?

Mike's going to get one of those gold razors, so I'm just asking for a friend.

Happy shaves,

Jim
