Thread: Barber hone with or without tape?

A very, very, valid reason to not tape, the good news is that it takes about 20 laps on a Norton 1k to eliminated the effect of the tape, maybe even less since the razor is in need of touch up....
What is even better is that the edge should be in excellent shape for a full touch up 1k 4k 8k -----> whatever stone you use.... then it will be set up for a Swaty re-touch schudule....
One thing I would recommend if you are going with a barbers hone re-touch, set up a schedule like every Sat, or every other shave whatever it takes to keep it sharp, not to sharpen it, there is a difference....
