Huh? Is a smile a problem?

No need to explain. I meant it to point out that a rolling stroke is the only way to hone a smile and that a rolling stroke is not just a way to work around setting a proper bevel on warped razors. Are you now saying that there is no way to set a bevel on a smile? If so, we have a very different idea of what constitutes a set bevel.

We will have to beg to differ. I'm not against rolling x I use it myself. I don't believe it is necessary to roll on a smiler either not unless the spine is straight in relation to it. A razor is not a knife. The bevel includes the hone wear on the spine.
