I'm not familiar with the terms French Point and Spanish Point. Understanding that many things go by many different names (you should hear what some people call me --how rude!), are they just different names for some of these?

The French point is the oblique shown in your link. My 3/8 CV Heljestrand Eskeltuna is an example


Spanish point razors sweep back like the French points, but swoop back out again. Kinda like an extra large barber's notch, which I guess is another point shape I didn't mention.
