    I've never seen one exactly like that. Probably not a modified point, though. I'd guess original.

    It reminds me of the small top notch on this Revitt & Hull:



    and this Colley:


    (picture from eBay)

    Both of those razors are in the general vicinity of 1840, I'd guess yours is too.

    Lot of guys think a barber's notch is for ease of opening the razor. I've never agreed with that, thinking it is to better reach around the nostrils for mustachioed men , like myself. These razors in this thread look like the purpose of the point is to make it more convenient to open the razor. Just speculating, I can't see any other reason for it.

    That point might have come in handy before the invention of the "pull tab" .
