Thread: How do I properly round a square or spike point razor?

You really don’t want to round off the edge, like a round point, the chances of damaging it are too great.

You can mute the point by lightly dragging the point on a high grit stone.

Chances are you will want the point when your technique improves, so just dull the point very lightly, so it can be restored.
Points are very handy, but you do have to be careful.

Most probably it is your technique and you are trying to shave with too much of the blade.

Shave with just one inch of blade at a time, either the tip, heel or middle. If you try to shave with 3 inches of blade on a non-flat surface… your face… the toe or heel will cut you… even with a round point.
