I understand! I began looking at those models and see that is the case.
No inference to any maker, but fads in the way of 'slashing' straight edges, yet a nice, smiling spine seem to have been popular for a good while these days.
100 years ago, they would have been laughable. Makers made blades to be honed and used. A totally straight edge from most quality grinders was not done, FME.
The reason is it did not give the user room to maintain the razor without considerable work as well as delivering a harsh edge quickly.
A slightly smiling edge is an easy pattern to follow. Shaves smoothly and is maintained easily.
YMMV"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.
