Thread: Why tape the spine?

i have seen jsut one true wedge razor

and i made it also i tape but thats cause i know that i can get a good edge on a razor like that and most buyers will fine tune to what there face likes (grit/ polish of the edge )

so far as the spine to edge hight ?
here is what i liek to go by but there is a wide range of spine thickness out there
5/8and smaller 1/8 ish
6/8 3/16
78 and larger i like 1/4 thick spine
