The knurling on the handle provides a secure grip, even with soapy hands, and the weight of the razor feels balanced in your hand. I've had no issues with slipping, and the grooves on...

I've had the pleasure of using both the standard Rocca and the R95 Rocca with the birch wood handle, and I must say, the wood version feels more substantial in the hand.
