Okay guys,

I have been dying to get my hands on not only a 7/8 but also a TI. So, in order to please my RAD, I have decided to go ahead and combine my two "wants" into one nice razor. But, I am running into indecision. It is a toss up between a TI Kingwood 7/8 Spike Point, a TI Black horn 7/8 point unknown and a TI Olivewood 7/8 point unknown.

Classic Shaving is one of two online sites I have found that sell them here in the US. I love the company and have ordered a few things from them. But I have found that their descriptions on some razors are inconclusive. Both the TI 7/8 Blond horn and Kingwood say "Spike Point" and the picture would back that up. Also, many razors that appear to have a round point plainly say "round point." But, what about the 7/8 in Black Horn and the 7/8 in Olivewood? The pictures look as though they are round points but they say neither. It also seems that they use the same pictures for razor models regardless of size. Example- Take a look at the 5/8 Olivewood and the 7/8 Olivewood. It is the exact same picture but the 5/8 says roundpoint and the 7/8 none.

I emailed them to ask what point the 7/8 Olivewood has and they responded with a "thank your for the inquiry but the razor is out of stock." The 7/8 Olivewood does not show out of stock and perhaps they were confusing it with the 5/8 Olivewood which shows out of stock.

So, does anyone out there know for a fact what type of point the 7/8 Olivewood and 7/8 Black horn have? I know the point is more of a visual preference but I would prefer a spike point. Also, does anyone know when round points came about?

Anything you could offer would help me out. Thanks guys.
