A challenge, but a fun one.

Do you have a razor with a strong smile at the edge?

None quite that happy :) This W&B Fine India Steel is my most smiling edge, I think.

Then you need to find a very happy straight razor. Absolute game changer when shaving.

Oh really?
I’ve never even considered getting one. In my mind, they were in the category of dragon-breath, fancy-spine fantasy knives.
Do you have some specific examples of smiling razors you like?
