When did you feel comfortable moving from rounded point to spike point?

I started with a spike and didn't have any trouble, so go for it.

You should always be cautious when using a straight regardless of the end. Just watch the ear lobe and around your mouth with the spike and you'll be fine. I actually prefer them as it's easier to get individual hairs in tough spots like right under the nose and around the corners of the mouth.
