Thanks for the post flybyu44. Ill be posting the same, hopefully with out the blood , but not counting on it.

For some reason I have that feeling like I just scored a Elmo (you dads out there know what im talking about ) a few years back, and im waiting to get it and give it to my son. Im almost giddy waiting to try this for the first time.
Hi Basher,

I don't know if you have looked at any pics of many razors yet, but if you do you will notice that the end of the blade differs on some razors. A spike blade refers to the end of the blade, on a spike blade the end of the blade is 90 degrees to the edge of the blade, making a perfect corner that is sharpen right up to the end. Other blades have rounded tips, so there isn't a sharp corner or spike on these blades. Hope that explains it for you. I'm just learning all this too, Wikapedia has a good section on straight razors, that is where I learned about the different blade shapes.
