    Default Spike point and sideburns

    So I have sideburns, and when I spoke to Larry from Whipped Dog about getting a razor from him, he said a spike point without the very tip dulled is much better for maintaing a clean edge, so I said OK, spike edge it'll be then.

    This is what I got:

    Looks like a round tip with sharp edge going all the way up the curve. Will this still be OK for keeping the edge on my sideburns?

    Yep. That will work. And with it blunted you won't cut your ear with a wicked tip.

    For the record, is that a round tip?

    That's a spike point that has had the tip muted.

    I get my sideburns in shape by shaving with the full blade going perpendicular to the sideburn hair (instead of parallel Like you would be doing with the point). Just works better for me.

    Have you ised a spiked? I have found a muted to be better. Spikes tear you up on the learning curve.

    Ah, OK, that'd be XTG for me
