Thread: Modern Razors...

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.

I know that manufacturers still make razors with different points, but the average is still round and if you want anything other than a round point you end up spending more money for it. Maybe like others said maybe the round point is to seem less intimidating to new users.
