Many folks have thought that bread-knifing was a "taboo" subject so here is another I'm guessing.

Taping the edge.

as we all know the a steep angle form edge to sine gives a more durable edge but not always a very good one.when it is too steep you might as well use your pocketknife.

from time to time i find myself, especially after "bread-knifing" that i need to thin the spine a bit to achieve an optimum shaving angle. Well this means "hone wear" but to preserve the remaining width of the blade i find that taping the edge works.

so my question for you all is have you ever tried it or are you all content wit ha steep angle that while durable does not cleave the hair as cleanly as it should.

anybody else try this or am i simply a heretic?
