Type of Point?

[BobK]

I was wondering which type of point (tip shape) do you prefer on your straight razor and why?

(I'm not sure if I got the terminology correct, but it is from the ShaveWiki on razor features)

I like square and French. They are better for edging a goatee. Spike may be a bit too much :crying:.

Al raz.

If I had my way, they'd all be spike points.

I prefer a spike point, and I don't have any facial hair to trim around. I think I would enjoy a French Point, because it would be easier to maneuver around my nose and such.

I was all about the round when starting out. Now I much prefer the spike. It makes detail work (goatee, sideburns, etc.) so much easier.

[Brent]

I'm new so I prefer the rounded points. Less chance to bleed

French points are very sexy, and barbers notches look cool too. But they're all good!

[Luc]

French points are my favourite, Round and square are excellent too! I got a few barber notch and a spike...

[Wid]

I like them all.

[global_dev]

sharp french points are my favorite as well.

[Shangas]

I'm used to round or french points. Spanish points/barber-notch razors interest me though. I dunno if I'm brave enough to try a square/spike point yet...

They all work fine, but I'm fond of barber's notches, especially on the old Sheffields.
