I do have a razor with a flat edge and a round tip but have not shaved with it yet.

As a new guy to SR's the smile although considered by most to be a better/more comfortable shavers is a royal pain to hone when you are new...
If you really look at Jimmy's link and see how to hone in a smile OVER TIME, that will help you learn...
Now if you are not planning on honing yourself, then by all means Smile away
