I've never had either done (silver or chrome), but prior discussions
on the subject have indicated that chrome plating was, for some, too
slippery to be practical. Is it true that chrome plating is more
slippery than sliver plating? If so, why? Dan, was this greater
"slipperiness" ever an issue for you?
