There's a prominent member on this board who says its not necessary to retape for a touch up. He has done it without trouble. There are many here who claim otherwise. But it's all speculation to me.
I always tape and I don't use barber hones. So I don't spend a lot of time wondering about it. A touch up takes be 5 minutes, if that. And a lot of times I'll use a pasted paddle without tape for touch ups.
I think if I had to switch a razor from taped to untaped, that would take five minutes too. So it really doesn't matter either way.
People make WAY too much of a big deal about tape. As I get more experience it just matters less and less to me. I can do it either way. Tape or no tape I'm still just honing the edge and getting the razor to shave.
