They're actually not that pointy. They're more rounded than it looks in pictures. I don't like pointy/rough OC teeth!The Yates OC plates look kind of pointy... seems like you would really feel it unless you were riding the cap?
In order to feel the pointiness of these, you'd have to shave so steep that the razor would be parallel to your face.
(I just ran it across my face at different angles to check, LOL!!)
I shave at a neutral angle and it feels smooth!
YMMV though!
Maybe what might feel smooth for me, doesn't for you.
I will say something though, Timeless has the smoothest open comb period!
The teeth are totally round and it feels like you're shaving with an SB!
