Thread: To tape or not to tape - Newbie question

What Birnando said: "a load of ballony"

I don't hone for hire so never use tape, even for "problem" razors. Just use the spine as a guide; don't apply more pressure on the spine than is required to keep it in contact with the hone. (Actually touching the hone with the spine isn't always necessary or even advisable.)

Call it as you see it mate. I always reserve my position. and make a final choice based on facts. And like you, don't hone for cash.

Regards

Bob
