Type of Point?

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.
 
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.

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