by adding 1 layer of the tape you are getting sharper edge then without tape?

Yes and no. It's not the tape as such. Have you ever used sandpaper to round the sharp edge of a piece of wood? Noticed how the sanding goes very quickly in the beginning but gradually slows down as the surface to be sanded grows? You can chamfer a hard edge with 600 grit sandpaper rapidly, but it would take forever to sand down one 100 grit scratch in a larger surface.
I'm using this exact principle on razors. By adding the tape, I divert all abrasion to the very tip of the bevel. The Coticule with water, that is normally only able to very slowly polish already sharp edges, now is able to actually refine the tip and make the edge keener.

and
adding 3 layers of tape will make it more sharper? you will have better angle and blade will be sharper?
are you trying to say that?

No, adding 3 layers just diverts the abrasion to the very tip in a more "agressive" way. It would take even less work before the maximum keenness was reached with a narrower secondary bevel as result, but at the cost of an obtuser edge. I also think it's better to allow the Coticule to go slower. I like my method with only one additonal layer best. (I have tried with 3 and 2 also).

thank you

People i am not fighting with Bart and you don't have to protect him.
I should hope not.
This is thinking (idea) differences and we are trying to resolve it . i hope we are not children.
Like I said earlier, I respect your straight criticism. I have not the slightest problem discussing these things with an open mind.
Of course it's possible that we might have to agree to disagree on this one.

The sad thing on this whole SRP community is, that one can't join in the pub and grab a beer together, after ending a good discussion. I would gladly pay for that extra functionality. (eh, wrong thread, I guess...)

Best regards,
Bart.
