Yes of course!
The VB "ring pull" with Aussie point.
So does that mean we accidentally invented the "6 pac" shaving set?

You make a valid point TBS.
Now I must find cutlers from around the world that happened to be situated on Spain Rd, Spain Ave..........................

Why French?
May be Irish point.
From "The Barbers Manual" by A.B. Moler, Edition 1924:



So. It's very difficult to find the origin of all these Points/Notch now.
I've never seen the name "Spanish Point" in old barbers books or catalogs.

Thanks for posting this article Manah.
Living in Spain and not seeing one locally made Spanish point razor has been very exasperating.
Irish point I had heard of, but a Dutch point?
Are there razors out there that were manufactured in Holland?
