Ask Aaron Q/A: The Merkur Futur Razor

Brian Harvey, from the UK, asks:

“Merkur Futur razor - which of the two finishes (satin or shiny chrome) is the least slippery to hold whilst shaving?”

AARON SAYS

“Mr. Harvey,
I have yet to compare the two side by side, but if i were to guess I would say that the matte finish razor would be easier to hold. However my guess is there wouldn’t be much of a notable difference. Whatever you choose, stay smooth!

Smooth shaving,
Aaron”
