I need to clarify something right now.
If your razors have been honed with tape, touching them up on a "stone" requires tape.
If your razors have been honed with tape, touching them up on a "pasted strop hanging strop" does not require tape.
You have to reset the bevel to go from tape to no tape, this is typically done on a 1K stone and then run through the honer's progression of stones to finisher. THEN, you don't have to use tape for a touchup.
