Spanish nose v. American nose
Can anybody explain the difference between American nose v. Spanish nose? I know the shape of the French nose, square v. round, but no clue American v. Spanish. Anyone?
Thanks,"I can resist anything except temptation"

The straight razor - Straight Razor Place Library I think the square/spike point is also called the American.

This might well be regarded as being nosy.

Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

It appears to me that one of them is obviously "hand picked".

The American point in the library ? The only time I heard American point was once in a thread. http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...ml#post1349427
A picture of it. ------> 6/8" Rasiermesser mit amerikanischem Kopf
It seems the Irish like to call the French point, Irish point. Maybe I said that back words.
Whether it exists or not I am going to call it that :<0)

Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

Bestest as I can discern, an American point is like the spike point above, yet ever-so-much rounded at the spike and going straight down.
Could be wrong. Was before. I am American. I like those! Don't care!
