I don't understand this statement. If the razor is sharp enough to shave then it is impossible to hide the fact that it has been honed. What indicates the razor has been "over honed" if not excessive removal of spine material and/or edge? If taping prevents excessive spine wear doesn't taping then prevent "over honing"?
