Greetings,
I am enjoying the "Learning Process" as I read the posts. I don't have a razor yet, but that will soon change.

In my quest for knowledge, I came across "Taping the spine"

What's that about? My assumption is that taping thickens the spine producing a greater angle during honing. If so, wouldn't the tape bung up the stone?

Thanks for your patience with my newbie questions.

Cheers,
Rick
