Ever since becoming interested in Straight shaving, I've had a soft spot for blades with pretty smiles. I find it hard to resist approaching them, and love to search for pictures of them.
Would anyone care to indulge me?

There are quite a few in our Straight Razor Database. Here is one of mine (slight smile, but a gorgeous razor, which has now found a new home in Belgium). Herder, Friedr Abr Sohn GmbH "78" 5/8 - Straight Razor Place Wiki
I have a very pretty little William Revitt 5/8 with a winsome smile: no pics yet because it's in bits ready to move into new scales. All being well it'll make a debut on the restorations board very shortly. Also in the works is a 6/8 Joseph Fenton, an ugly razor with an evil grin - that one won't be ready for a while.
Smiling razors work well on my hollow cheeks!
In addition to the razor database, you can find lots of pictures of razors in the razor clubs (Razor Clubs - Straight Razor Place Forums) and the SOTD (Shave Of The Day - Straight Razor Place Forums) sections.
I only have one, and its not restored yet. In fact, I just made a post about it earlier today.
However, I love smileys a ton. I think that they are the best looking razors I've come across in general. I also actually find shaving with them to be better for the contours and lines of my face.
Here is a picture of mine!
