    Default Boker with a smile....

    Is this model Boker supposed to have this much smile in the blade? Is it made like that?

    I see the spine is also smiling.

    Thanks Guys.

    Yes, this Boker's smile looks perfectly normal. Enjoy!

    This is not much smile at all, you can find old sheffield blades with a lot more than that.
    Smile on a blade is a good thing

    Personally, I've got like no smile at all -- but that razor has one and it's terrific! I love honing blades like that.

    Why "Red Injun"? But it's not important.
