    If you read the Forum's Library quite a bit will be explained there including what a smile on a razor is.

    The straight razor - Shave Library

    Undoubtedly you will have more question after reading that so fell free to ask.

    I'm guessing you're asking for a reason. To tag onto what Bob said, it's not mentioned but worth noting that a smile can either be intentional by the manufacturer or a result of honing.
