The razor I'm using is of the gen 1 variety. I got a gen 2 as well, which was motivated by reports of the latter being nicer, but when I tried them both out last month, I found that I had a better experience with the former. Granted, it was in the first couple days of trying them out, and I think I only tried the gen 2 one once... I also don't care for chrome. I really don't see the appeal at all, but that's obviously a matter of subjective taste.
I wonder if chrome in modern razors is just kind of a vestigial relic from days past, which has stuck around. For example, chrome is forever in my mind associated with the 50s (though these particular razors pre-date that, I believe), during which time I have the impression that chrome seemed to have been slapped on everything, particularly cars. Perhaps razors, as time went by, never really shook free of times when chrome was so fashionable.
Or maybe it's just a production cost thing.
