Thread: Tape on Jnats

I guess I want to know how it feels/sounds to hone on a jnat without tape.

I have a blade that I use 3 layers of tape on and now and then I think lets get it set with 2 layers because it would just be better for the edge.
After some time and a fattened bevel I realise I will have to use 3 layers to get rite to the edge.
So removing tape after a bevel setting isn't such a bright idea.

Without tape it sounds like: schwttttttt
With tape it sounds like: schwuttttt
With tape it feels like wearing plastic on your feet.
Without tape it feels like going barefoot.

Empirical data should not be ruled out.

Silence is golden but duct tape is silver.

I'm sorry what was the question ?

Oh yeah. Jnats laugh at tape but rarely at my bad jokes.

So just pick a razor that already has some hone wear, or one that you don't mind some hone wear on and do it. I would recommend just setting the bevel without tape. Try it, you'll like it. You can always go back to tape.

My blades don't have hone ware.
I was thinking I could try with one of my brothers razors

Tape will not hurt any Jnat.

+1, no issue with using tape.

I generally tape with one layer of electrical tape right from bevel set all the way through to finished edge (because I dont like the look of spine wear, just my preference!) and have encountered no issue with any stone.
