Thread: Square vs. Rounded end...

Square tip is nice, but prefer the spike points, get into some real fine tuning with one and I prefer the look....as mentioned...YMMV.

Round = nice, calm and gentle. Square = Rough, mean and fearsome.

I was a little afraid of square points, until I tried one. From that time forward all of my razors have had near spike points AND near spike heels.

Personally I have preferred square, just easier trimming around and squaring up my sideburns and goatee, though I do like the rounds at times too.

We all have our own pref's when it comes to this.
In all honesty though, it doesn't really matter much imho.
Once you are familiar with one, regardless of which, they all do the job

Rounds: More forgiving. Square: Better at getting those stray whiskers, but more likely to bite you. Spanish: Just way cooler and better than the rest.

Square is unforgiving in the neck area, if you aren't using the heel and trying to scrape with the tip. With a round I find you'll rarely cut yourself but hey now we can't forget the Barber's notch.
