    Default different points.

    I found a info paper out of a razor box describing the razors this comp. makes. one of the point styles is an Irish point. I've been looking and haven't found that type of point. anyone know what it looks like and or have a photo of one. This paper came from a J. Wiss & Sons co. box. Is a unique style or modified something else. I know over the centuries straight razors have been made there must have been many point designs. Probably modified something else.anyway would be interesting to know.
