    Hard to beat a smiling blade, by far my favourite. They are a bit tricky to hone, but my best edges and shaves have been with a smiler.

    I have been trying to buy a smiling W&B on eBay that needs some cleaning up to try honing it.
    Definitely not touching the one I have now as I don't want to screw it up. May never be able to hone them right, and if not still worth sending to and one who can.
