Filly Doble Temple 13 - Spanish Point a la Max
Round point razors, particularly those 6/8 and wider, have too much of a popsicle stick look for me. I have some that I like, but for the most part I prefer other tip shapes.
A while back I managed to snag a NOS Filly 13 Doble Temple for a nice price on the Bay. But the popsicle stick look was, for me at least, a major drawback. Saw someone had had Max grind a Palmera to a Spanish Point, checked with Max re the price, and the rest is history.

For me, this totally opens up trying razors I'd previously avoided because of the round tip, like some of the 7/8 Dorkos or Henckels, or many fat round tips that I'd previously passed by in antique stores.
Pricing may vary by razor, so check with Max. But I will be sending more for re-shaping in the future.
