Does anybody have a set of pictures displaying the different points available on straight razors? I know a couple of the common varieties but I see lists containing others that I haven't seen.
Namely: a Spanish vs a French point vs an Oblique (I know this one but I bet there are others out there who would appreciate an example)
Thanks!

Be there or be square. Only I can do both!
I've got a cat named Beefeater and a dog named Beefeater, and two goldfish called Beefeater and Beefeater. There's Beefeater my hamster and Beefeater my horse, and my piglet, known as Beefeater of course.

Wow!!! I did not know there were that many. I am sure that there are some missing as well.
Is there one with a bottle opener??

Not that I know of, but PM Robert Williams, and maybe he can make you a custom one!

Thanks for the pics Joel. One question, what are some of the advantages of using 'barber's notch' razor? Thanks.

With the notch, it allows you to get in/around the ear, as well as nostril (not that I would do that - but barbers would back in the day) however it can be useful when doing detailed work around your nose (moustache area) or ear (trimming around sideburns) but by and large (in my opinion) is mainly for looks.

Well done!
Thanks a lot!
I find the french point a bit unforgiving on my lobes and was thinking my eventual $$$custom would be a spanish but I am now leaning towards this- new to me- notch point.

That is the first reasonable explanation that I've heard for the notch.

I do have about 4-5 razors though I do need to get rid of (I haven't even honed the dang things yet) and sell - but even those, I hate to part with
