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.
