    Great save, I hope it shaves as smooth as it looks.
    Why doesn't the taco truck drive around the neighborhood selling tacos & margaritas???

    Yes, It honed up and shaves as expected for a Geneva, but the smiling edge and the curved spine make for a very "different" experience! It is very concave, yet smiling! Good for weekends, or days off, when you have plenty time to work the entire edge! Thanks!

    Nice job, sharptonn.

    Very cool looking razor. I think it should best be used with a nice cooling menthol soap or creme. Hope you enjoy it lots, poppy926.

    Just an update. I got the razor in the mail on Tuesday (darn holiday). It looks better in person. I had my first day off so I decided to shave with it and never having shaved with a smiling blade before I decide to first just try with the grain and then go from there. Well I am going to have to go back to basics because I couldnt get the right angle or to much pressure or something I was doing just wouldnt work. So while learning to use this blade I will revert back to my newbie training and just do sideburns and cheeks until I can improve. Admittedly my regular technique is probably not the absolute greatest either. And I am absolutely sure it is not the razor...
