For the prices that Altima55 gets for his razors on Ebay, if he's not restoring and selling razors full time I'd be surprised; if I were he, I'd consider giving up my day job!

Yup, you just grind it round, but there are plenty of round tips out there and there's no need make your own.

I just rounded off a Wester Bros flat tip a few weeks ago only because of some deep pitting close to the point. No problem.
