Nuff said, show off your blade points that you like the best!
What's your favorite blade tip style?

My face likes round tips best. My eyes prefer square tips, Spanish points and barbers' notches.

I prefer an aggressive Spanish points. While I like everything, I love something that looks like it can put a giant whole in something.
I've always thought round point blades were the most attractive. They give the illusion of being less fragile for some reason.
Spanish or French.
I like American points.
Never heard of an American point before?
Spikes! Keeps things interesting.
Square points, the more spikey the better.
I prefer the look of round points and do not find them any disadvantage while shaving.
"American points" are what the French call a spike or square point: [FONT=&]une pointe américaine.[/FONT]
I don't know yet, let me shave with the Cocorollo and I will tell you if I like spike points or not. 
I prefer a square point myself. I enjoy the "dangerous" nature of straight shaving, and a square (spike) point further accentuates this...
As a general rule I prefer square points, but it really depends on the overall look of the razor. The round point on my Boker 6/8 Piccadilly looks so nice...
Notched spanish
Spanish.
Soooo +1. Love the look of all of these, but can't bring myself to try one (yet)!
French, the more wicked the better. I had a semi-custom Harner blade from a SRP buy ages ago that had a wicked "bird-wing" point. It was nearly half an inch of curve with an incredible point on the end. Absolutely beautiful.
I managed to do a quick google and find this old picture. Pity the blade was so ungodly long.

Square point aesthetically though my face prefers them muted.
The few times I've shaved with them they have bitten me
