I have been sporting a goatee for well over 25 years and would kind of like to keep it. And being new to straight razors, I would like to know if a round point blade is going to work for me, or should I be looking at a spike tipped blade?
Thanks fellas...

I have a goatee or technically a Van Dyke, it really hasn't mattered in my shave I spike will be very precise , yet very unforgiving, but I have two round points one being my Kinfolks which sees a lot of my shaves because it's my favorite and I keep my beard lines very crisp with it, so yes a round point will serve you well and be a little less likely to stab you!

Thanks TC... your Van Dyke looks exactly like mine... so I guess that's what I have... Lol! All these years and never knowing what this thing growing on my face was called... Lol! Anyway... being a DE wet shaver, I figured out how to shave and shape the "Van Dyke"... without cutting or adding extra scars to my face... just have to concentrate on what I'm doing... so I guess it's the same principals with the straight razor... take your time and figure out what works the best...
Thanks TC!

Welcome! If you do go vintage and it's not truly shave ready it will cost about $20-$25 +shipping to the honer. If you've been using a de you're half way there as you will have a better understanding of your beard growth and a proper prep and lather. Don't be afraid to go with a square point though you may want to avoid a spike for a first razor.
