I like them too Maxi . They may not be my absolute favorite, but they don't bug me like they seem to bug the majority of members. Oh well, to each his own...

I think round points look better than the others. I wish Dovo would make an actual round point like Hart instead of the semi-round they produce.

I wish Hart would make a barber's notch or Spanish point.

Thiers Issard makes some blades with very nice profiles.

I think the less attractive blades and round points are mostly the less expensive models. At least in terms of TI, Dovo, and Boker (and I'm not sure if Boker even makes anything that isn't round)

Boker makes the celebrated, an excellent Spanish point.

That's a nice lookin' razor Otto!

I've often considered reshaping the round points on my Dovo stainless blades. Imagine a Dovo Renaissance with a Spanish point! I've had a lot of success reshaping chisels on sandpaper, why couldn't it work with a razor? Anyway, I see lots of old razor restores that have been reshaped. Why not do it with a new one?

I'll try it with an old worn out razor first.
