Dito that.

You forgot point-less, quite common in ebay. No round points for me!

Tally another for clavichord

I like round points.

*dremel, dremel, dremel*

No, now I like square points

*dremel, dremel, dremel*

I mean, I like French points!

*dremel, dremel, dremel*

Now I like Spanish points!

*dremel, dremel, dremel*

I think I'll have to recuse myself from answering!

that raises a good point Seraph, how many of us that don't like round points take to changing them? I know I will if there is nothing on the blade that would be off center afterwards. throws them off in the scales, but that's just an excuse to get new scales.

I think part might be from the type of shaving you do???

I have facial hair so Round points don't do what I need them to...

Hmmmm right after I typed that I decided that it didn't make any sense...
because most of the people on the forum do not have facial hair Duuuuuuuuh

So I like Spikes because they look way way way more tuff and manly so do Spanish points,

I'll shut up now...

I can't answer- it's too tough! I really like anything but very rounded points. If it is a really slight rounding, I think it can look great though... and I do mean really slight.

I think that a French point is the best looking of the bunch, but the worst to strop if proper thought is not given to easing the edges of the point so they don't scrape the leather as you strop. I have a custom with that fault. It has yet to go back to the maker, but it will one of these days or I'll try the dremel, dremel, dremel routine.
