Thread: Round point--->French point!

So here's the dilemma:

You have a perfectly fine, NOS Le Grelot straight. But it has a round point. You hate round points and as a result, seldom use this lovely razor. You love French points, and think "if this thing had a French point, it could be my new pet razor

So. do you take a cutter/grinder/sander to a perfectly serviceable blade? To a damaged blade, sure, but a pristine blade for the sake of personal preference?

After some soul searching, I decided yes. And SOOOOOO glad I did! I've had this razor for a long time, one of my first "nice" razors but since I've developed this preference for French points, I'd used the Le Grelot maybe twice in the last year. She's a good ol' shaver, and it's good to have her back in the rotation on a more frequent basis.
