For me, most blades are fairly smooth. A few I have feel exceptionally smooth. But as many have already said, it's more than likely a combination of razor and blade. For me, smooth is a term that details how easy or effortless a blade feels when shaving with it. It's like, when I down a shot of Proper 12...it's like drinking water that has the taste of Irish whiskey...no sting...no bite...no cough...no recoil...no grimace...just delicious and warming.
I've only had a very bad experience with one blade...and the bad experience repeated itself on two other attempts with a fresh blade of the same kind. And that blade was the Bic Chrome Platinum. For me, it neither feels sharp nor smooth, but instead it tries to tug the whiskers from my face and neck.
