Thread: Trivial question

Question: why do we call it 'round point'? Isn't a point, by definition, not round?
Shouldn't we call it a round tip or something? Sure, this is merely a terminological thing, but it just struck me as odd

I think it is just a gographical thing, as opposed to, say the heel of the blade. Terminology for the parts of the razor and all that...

Since there's a heel on the blade, shouldn't the tip be referred to as the toe?

I think it should and so I do.
