Thread: Spike Points

Damn 'em all to hell. Lol, they are tricky though. I had not cut myself in over a month but the spike got me last night.

Gently blunting just the very tip of the blade (the spike) on a hone or a glass bottle will have no impact on the blade profile and will usually eliminate those surprise attacks.

Muted spike is great in avoiding surprises but I prefer the spike, muted or not for it's precision. I'm a beard wearer and loved the ability of the spike to shape the style.

+1 here with a mustache goatee and sideburns, the spikes just work so well, but a second of oooooh butterfly and lol! My one spot seems to be my left ear, like my arm just navigates itself there.

I enjoy the spike point purely for it's badassness.

It's just another minor complication in the straight shaving skill. Kind of like having a manual choke in a car (remember them?) Mastering a full spike point gives you bragging rights.

I got myself with a spike point recently too, and I hadn't done that in a few years lol It happens.

Spikes are the best to learn on IMO, they make you pay attention!

I wear a Goatee myself, so I love the spikes. You do have to be careful. I used to get my left ear too, until I learned to hold/stretch it back a bit when I shave.

It left a nice scar.

I have not got my ear yet but I guess I will one day. I am thinking of not blunting it for bragging rights. But if I slash my ear that might change my mind.
