Thanks Guys

This straight razor is brand new. I bought it from Straight Razor Designs shave ready. If it dulls slightly and I take it to a 12k finishing stone (with tape on the spine), will that affect the original angle from Straight Razor Designs? Or do you think they honed with tape? Will I have to reset the bevel with the tape on? If so, would I use an 800 grit?

Thanks a lot! My brother (who is new too) and I both appreciate the help.
