Thread: Smiling Razors

I am looking to add a smiling Razor to my collection can you still get them

you can still find the vintage ones and also get a custom made .. im not aware of any modern manufacturers

ECD,

Depends on how much 'smile' you are after; my C135 Thiers-Issards have a slight but visible smile to them.

Have fun !

Best regards

Russ

Thanks Guys will look on e bay also charity shops as well ( Already picked up one razor from a charity shop for £2 it is has "CARMAN" engraved on the blade . You never Know if not have to save the pennies to have one custom made

Most of my blades by far have smiles, and I find they fit my face better, whether I'm smiling at the time or not.

Yes, you can still get them. Or you can have your razor honed to smiling. I think it might cost a bit more than a standard honing, just due to additional time expended for the honer, but it'd still be considerably cheaper than buying a custom blade.

Regularjoe is spot-on I have many smiling blades that were put on them as an afterthought or just to get rid of some damage on the blade.
There is a member here who will smile a razor during restoration, more time then naught. Har!!!
You know who you are???

Smile! .......... It's good for you!

Here are some radical smilers. A few vintage and a custom. The SRP Limited Edition Logo razor is also a smiling blade and AFAIK still available.

Here is a smiler with Giraffe Bone scales. Tricky to hone the point.
