Does TI a French company make a French Point Str8?

Our UK razor man Steve Invisibleedge calls them oblique points.
I love them:D

Sounds like TI does not make a Oblique or French point razor. It would be nice if they did as I find them to be very shave friendly.

A nice way to get a NEW oblique point would be to get a Wapi !! And they are wedges!!

My wapi is more hollow than my wedge.:confused:

Posted before, but here it is again - the french or oblique point, also called the Irish point in contempory Sheffield razor making times.

Neil

Irish !! Well well, I didn't know that.:rock:

Mine too. I'd call the Wapi a 1/8 hollow :p

Here's a sketch of points made in Sheffield at the time of the last razor-grinder working ther, the Irish point is at the bottom:

Steve at Invisible Edge classifies the WAPI as a Henckels 3. The blade chart from his web site Jargon Buster illustrates the henckels scale. My WAPIs match his classification.

Hat duly taken off, cheers Neil.:tu
