They are great. They operate this site. They are honest and don't screw you. I would not go spike point if I were you. Spike = pointy and sharp. Was not the R. Aust a round or spanish point, which is easier to handle as a new shaver? Also, I hate to disagree with anyone (prior poster) but Thiers Issard doesn't seem to be delivering the same quality as R. Aust right now and your price is for a kit, not a razor.
