My first razor was a round point, then got a French point, barbers notch and spike point. Like everyone else I agree about precision using all of them. I grew a mustache trimmed half height like Clark Gable also a V shaped goatee and was able to keep nice straight lines using any one of my razors. I just acquired the spike point recently and drew blood just bringing it to my face I had to focus a lot too on the position on the point. My neck area was a challenge.
