Gents,

I have to admit, I was pretty intimidated by the thought of using a spike point. I just could not wrap my mind around how the end would not gash my face and remove my earlobes.

Then I finally had to try one. It was my great-grandfather's Droescher. I have to say I now like them better than round points.

I can use the point very surgicaly around areas of my face. I have not nicked myself one time with one, including my earlobes. But more importantly, I find I slow down and pay much closer attention to the razor, my angles and my pressure because I know I have to respect the spike point. I may even have to attribute the large string of BBS shaves I have been getting to this last point.

So if you are considering trying one, I would encourage you to.
