Thanks for the advice all. Perhaps this point got particularly pointy due to the fairly long setting process, necessitated by the initially rather ragged edge.

Thanks (I was searching for "blunt" and not getting hits; "mute" or "round" is what I wanted it seems). I have other razors with non-round points, but for some reason this Joseph Elliot's geometry...

I've got a lovely Joseph Elliot silver steel extra hollow grind (first time today shaving with an extra hollow) which I just set and honed. It's got a rather nastily sharp and pokey point though....
