    It is also what the wiki says they are the same thing.
    Yeah, it's the same.
    Irish point - French point
    Dutch point - Round point.

    Names of points expanded on, as requested by OP


    Before anyone asks, a Clip point or C point is what is in the first Pic as 1c. Spanish Point which are also referred to as Dreadnought Points in some of the old Ads...



    ps: Stay away from my Spike's and nobody gets hurt

    I really do enjoy all these styles of razors. French/Irish got my vote. My least favourite is round due to the toe of the razor making me 'guess' where it's going to cut. Any of the square/spike/irish/french have a real definitive cutting point.

    Barber Bullet Point must be from the 1800 wild wild west, just a normal razor hit by a bullet...

    I am surprised at the result. I though the hollow point would be up there. And I'm not surprised by the spike. But I didn't think the French would be so high. Interesting especially since you don't see too many of them. (At least I don't)
