(...the reason that they are so rare is due to the fact that they only exist in this warped pile of bratwurst that I call my 'mind'....)

Actually, you can make your own....all you need is the buffing wheel in the garage workshop (set on...oh, about a gazillion RPM), a round point restoration razor, and then have the new 20-something neighbor lady step in and ask you if her new bikini is too tight (it was!).

....bingo.....Lou point!

unless things are popping out (and I mean things...plural), a bikini can never be too tight...unless I'm related to said wearer.

Spikes are tops for me, but a French or Spanish point are not too bad, in fact teh French point is sometimes even prefered. Round points hang in the rear of my preference as well. Lou can keep his entirely.

My personal order of preference:

1. Barber Notch - hey, I'm a sucker for old-timey, sexy-cool.
2. French Point - the safest detail point that I have worked with
3. Spanish Point - great looking, but I've never used one.
4. Spike - If I nick myself, it always seems to be with that corner!
5. Round Point - looks boring, and that extra metal hanging off the end just gets in the way, to say nothing of the curved edge out there.

Note that the Lou Point didn't even make the list.

(...and deservedly so, I might add....)

Mine goes like this:
1) Spanish
2) French
3) Spike
4) Round
5) Barber's
That's for the regular stuff.. Ofcourse, my real favourite is the Lou-Point

Now the Lou point has taken on a hyphenated form -- the "Lou-Point" ---looking very official indeed --- ebay prices have just jumped $50.

I'm almost tempted to commission one from Robert, just to have a Lou in my rotation
