I like the sexy french tip, for a new straight shaver I would start with a round tip, it is safer and a bit more forgiving, french tip the same. Just my opinion.

Thanks for jogging my memory with that link. Yes, the American point/Amerikanishem kopf does exist. This is a poor photo of my Herder 77 Constant stainless steel razor's tip.

At risk of inquiring into something that may be incredibly obvious... is there anywhere that has a good write-up on why each of these points have the names that they do?
No Idea of how the different points got their name, however a friend in Germany told me that the 'Spike' point that pups was kind enough to show was only manufactured for the American Market.
I would also say that the Square Point is only slightly different from the Spike point as there is a slight radius instead of two angles meeting at a 90 deg which results in a nice little bit to bite you when you momentarily lose your concentration. Yes I speak from experience. :w
It is the subject of much controversy. In the past, many downright uncivil and argumentative threads existed.
I am proud of this nice discussion! :)
Except for the nose picking stuff!
The Americans cut corners....I'm so ashamed.
