You only get one vote so make sure it's your true favorite :)

Barbers notch for me!
Rounds my #1.
Spike, though I like the looks of the French but haven't tried one yet.
I voted French, but really do enjoy them all.
I like Irish point and Hollow point.:)
+ 1 on the Hollow point!
Why not a multi choice poll?
square/spike.
I would consider a Hollow Point a Barbers Notch. We will have to get a mod to add it. It is also what the wiki says they are the same thing.Quote:

Yeah, it's the same.:)Quote:

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 :rofl2:
im still torn between a Spanish & Barbers , but i went with Spanish( like the look better ) ... prob because you dont really see a ton of them ... out of all the points i own the look of this whole blade is my favorite !!! it has a little bit of everything i like ... wedge , notch , thum notch , small tail , and nice curves ! ;)

What about Barber(Bullet) point?

I like my razors like I like my whiskey, IRISH!
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...Quote:

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)
Roundpoint to shave with and Spanish point to stare at.
