Curved blade
I have a lot of razors but have never shaved with a straight razor that has a curved edge. I am curious to know how different the shave technique and quality of the shave is from a straight edge to a curved edge?

Never had a Saito. But I have some smiles, they shave very well especially in the neck area. Don't know how to explain to t but it's kinda like having a built in scything stroke. My best shavers are smileys. Tc

I've never had a Saito # 1 (the most curved)
but I've got a blade Bruno built based on one ......... I call it my Briato .........
Here it is along with a Robert Williams custom
Finally more traditional smiling blades, a Shumate Tungsteel, and a Ran-tan-Xa-rus
Great shavers all.Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Love my smilin' Sheffield blades, great for getting into the neck hollows as TC says.

Really nice. Think I will spring for one. Jerry Stark's has some very nice ones at a reasonable price for a forged blade. Thanks guys

My 6/8 Red Devil smiler is, by far, the best shaver I have to attack the neck and face concaves. I shave so well with it that I don't need a second pass.
