As with most everything with straight razors, this will be a qualified answer.

If you really drop your attention, a round point will certainly get your attention in a bad way, just as any straight razor will, but it will generally be more forgiving. Incidentally if you do get a square or spike point and find that the point is causing you grief, there are easy ways to mute the point, i.e. dull the very end of the edge without altering the shape of the blade.
EDIT: I realized after posting that if this was on Sesame Street, this post would have been brought to you by the word 'attention'
It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.
