Getting the most out of a spike point
I've got a few spike points, and while some are top notch, I don't seem to be getting the best of the spike. First, I'm reluctant to put weight on the point, because that always seems to result in a poke or pinch, so I'm mostly using the middle of the razor, and the blade doesn't seem as stable out there because it's narrower (though moreso in some than others). Whereas with roundpoints or square points, I don't hesitate to lean on the point, which makes the side burn area a lot easier. I have the following spike points: C-Mon HF - wonderful razor, Geneva Cutlery spike - pure evil or pure genius, depending on the day, a 9/16 Henckels twinworks, a THessen Bruch spike. My geneva has a habit of really slashing me when I'm not careful, but it's a great razor otherwise.
For those spike point lovers out there, what do you love about the spikes and what are your secrets?
