LOL on the expensive journey ....... I resemble that remark. Nothing wrong with beginning with a spike point. Especially for your purpose. I'd suggest you look into a Spanish point for your next purchase, they are even more useful in precision sculpting of beard or goatee. A couple of slices in front of my ear taught me to keep an eye on where the point is at all times, if you do that, you can't go wrong.
