Like many here I started with 5/8 and 6/8 round points
Early encounters with Spike and Square points where bloody - I have this Red Imp that was trying to remove my ear (I was convinced)

Fast forward a few hundred shaves and I try again with a loaner and I'm won over by the end of the shave.
Working around a Mo is so much easier with the Square/Spike/Barbers/Spanish, now its all I use.
Loose focus for a moment and there will be blood BTW.

So mute it if you must - and shaving is very YMMV, but a good workman never blames his tools...

Smooth Shaving...
