For Dave Martell....... Jerry from Reading PA here; Over the years I have acquired a number of razors that have been honed to death. It's a fair guarantee that they were never taped. It's also a fair guarantee that you would be more willing to buy my razors that were taped than my razors that were never taped. YES?/NO?
And you might be willing to let your hanging strop sag just a bit when you take the tape off. I think it's a matter of feel just like all aspects of honing and stropping..... YES?/NO?
That CrOx paste and powder you sold me has a nice FEEL to it...........!!! JERRY
