Thread: Should there be a smile in this blade?

Well here we are, I do not have the exact curve of the spine. But I do have a nice clean bevel and a slight smile. It is not perfect but I have learned a lot doing this. For some reason I really struggled getting a bevel to begin with but finally tried a different stroke and got that accomplished. After getting hair to be removed easily went to 4k/8k and went with pyramid honing from there. Now to strop when I get home and in a couple days test shave and see what happens. Thank you all for your advice and encouragement. All your words are greatly appreciated and a huge help to a beginner like myself.
