Lately (last 6-8 months) and I do not know why, I have seen more frowns on newer razors then ever in the past... all brands
I am thinking some where is a vid or thread that is showing something very wrong that new guys are following and messing up the razor.. I haven't been visiting the other forums all that much but I am going to start asking my customers and try and find out where they are getting the bad info from..
Something is off out there...Last edited by gssixgun; 10-25-2013 at 05:17 AM.

First and Foremost, When Glen (GSSIXGUN) speaks I listen and I listen very closely!!

I do on occasion use a finger at the back of the spine as a guide AND it's just a guide with no downward pressure when I'm 'first' starting to set the bevel but after that I'm the one armed man!!
Sitting beside Glen and watch him hone and be able to stop and ask questions and have him patiently answer my questions improved my honing 10X's over!!

Ok Listen up. If you are not concerned about spine wear, Do not tape and proceed full speed ahead.
However, if spine wear bothers you for whatever reason. Please use 1 layer of tape and after the 8k, please add 1 more layer and proceed with the Tim Zowada and enjoy your shave.
Read all the many (72,000,000,000,000,000,000) threads about taping spines and proceed without adding any more threads. And thanks a whole big bunch for doing that.
This is really one subject that should be limited. Whew!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry if we are out of patience on this subject. It simply doesn't matter if you tape or not unless you are worried about spine wear period.edhewitt likes this.JERRY
OOOPS! Pass the styptic please.

The real question is this: If you lather your strop and tape your spine, will it affect the HHT?
