Thread: is this a spanish point??

what about the brand ( Gold nugget ) i never heared of it before (since im fairly new). is it a good brand?
and the second one is a Top Flight (no idea what that is)
the first one,, crown&sword i know

I think a good way to explain Spanish point is: Inverted Round Point.

You might ask around the workplace forum to see if anyone can recommend a method or individual to help you get a Spanish point made. I know some guys do a lot of modification work on existing blades.

I agree with your definition, but if you notice that razor does stick out past the end. A square point is approximately 90 degrees and the spike sticks out a little bit past the end, as I understand it. What you linked looks too oblique to be a spike and is in French/Irish tip territory.

Now I am confused; I had thought that the point you show above is called a French point. The razor is French, too.

Okay, simple text guide here:

}---Barber's Notch (kind of)
)---Spanish
|---Square
]---Spike (only the bottom sticks out like that)
/---Irish/French.

Not perfect, but the best I can do on my keyboard

Thats what i ment,,,it sticks out at the end, that's what confused me and i couldnt place it as spanish or not....because i have a square one and it isnt the same tip
i also checked the wiki and in the descriptions of razors the square lacks the little tip at the end. the little tip really comes out though.
seriously i dont think its a big deal but its confusing

I understand. I have one I'm kind of on the fence about what to call it. Maybe I will call it a broken spike point.

no, just a square point, spike point has an angle to it pointing out

from a thread I made a few days ago
square on the top, spike on the bottom
