My WR2 1.15 SB in basic brushed is my ideal razor and I am not certain the satin would improve the shave. I think finish is a personal preference at that point more than having anything to do with performance. Hard to say and I suspect I will never know. I do have the BBS-1 in the mirror polish (and have had several other mirror polished Wolfies) and don't enjoy taking the extra effort to polish it after use each time, which is why the basic brushed appealed to me. Basic brushed costs less too, bonus.

Can anyone post side by side pictures of a basic brushed and satin razor? Tester's comment earlier on has sparked my curiosity in seeing the differences between the two. Thanks.

I would suggest that the 'Basic brushed' finish would better be described as a 'Brushed machine' finish ( to understand more clearly the difference) to obtain the more expensive Satin Matte finish requires quite a different & more skilled process-requiring first high polishing plus a mild brushing process giving the amazing deep lustre finish of 'Satin Matte', unlike the basic polish vs Mirror polish which can look close in finish.......YMMV......
LOVE that Satin Matte finish!......that is a Craftsman's skill equal to 'Mirror finish'....
