Round razor handle vs faceted one.

I wish flat handles similar to those used with vintage injector razors were available for safety razors. I think flat or faceted handles allow for better control of the head.

 

I've never had an issue, round or faceted.

 

After capably shaving many times with the super-slick Futur, I realize I can shave with pretty much any razor handle, faceted or smooth…

 

I actually prefer the round handles like on the 1912 Damaskeenes, early 1914's, Micromatics and Streamlines.

 

I prefer faceted so the handle doesn't roll away by itself

 

I like a solid razor handle round or square. The one that came with that Utopia is my favorite for now with a Merkur head.

 

the merkur 1904 has faceted handle. hexagonal, i believe.

 

I prefer thicker and heavier handles, and have never noticed and big difference with regards to shape or texture.

To be fair I have not tried one of the really smooth "Futur type" handles...

 

Never had any issues with slippery-ness, either.
Wet hands are not slippery, soapy hands are.

 

Ah, but wet razor handles can be—particularly if they are smooth & shiny!
Slippery When wet!
...And Painful!

 

Metal may look better, but plastic is less slippery, IMHO.

 

For years the only razor I used an old type head on a hex handle, but lately I've been using a single ring with a round handle and I haven't noticed any difference in control.

 

What.... A.... Beauty!!!

 

Now in the possession of a fellow TSD member!

 

Well he/she is very lucky. How does it shave?

Not trying to thread jack sorry!!
