Thread: Looks like two bevels

Ok, while you are learning, you will prevent a lot of spine damage by using tape. Long term, tape is not necessarily necessary, but it is a good idea to use it when you are in the early stages of learning how to hone. At a minimum, it would be a good idea to use it during the bevel set, as that is the stage when the most beginner damage is done.

I put tape on both sides of the razor once. Just to get an idea for the feel of razor weight on the stone & lifting off at the end. Was only for a minute or two, but still a true story.

I probably shouldn't have made that public :/
