As Rodney King once said; "Can't we all just get along?"
I tried this method today on three razors that needed honing but did not have "issues" (chips etc.)
And Brothers I say to you...
If this be Heresy - then thou shalt go out and gather wood and stout stakes...
For one of us of both modest experience and basic collection of stones (Norton 4/8, Nan 12K, Crox Balsa)
Hath brought unto his razors a most wonderful & joyous edge, with results like those of the great Masters of the Stone...
I pray that we may let each other Not Tape or Tape or even Tape yet again in peace..
And that we remember the wisdom of: "YMMV" and "It is your Face & Razor my Brother"
For I do not wish to be led to pyre...
Smooth Shaving my Brothers...
