The closest thing to a frown is a straight edge.
The best shaving razors have a smile.
Reprofiling a blade and not giving it at least a slight smile is improper, in my mind.
I am certain this is Martin's quest as well.
YMMV
That one is an old regrind. Quite common to see variations from side-to-side.Quote:
