Best Answer

Finishes of stainless steel when described as satin or brushed or a little to subjective to be accurate. Usually brushed is polished using an abrasive built to show a directional grain, satin is generally smoother by either using a fine abrasive or using satin brushes that don't really have a grain. Satin is most commonly used for household appliances especially in Europe.
