Our very own Gasman requested some help with one he just couldn't get to lock in. Looked it over a few minutes, and decided on what I call a 2+1 taping.
Hone wear was even for each side, but progressively getting wider towards the toe. Strategic placement of overlapping tape evened out the bevel for the proper, original bevel. Though we now have a double bevel, its even.
I set the bevel on a Chosera 1000, then progressed with a Washita, Coti, Lt. Blue Thurigan, and finished on a Dark Blue Thurigan. Jerry prefers a crisper edge, and this little Thurigan brings that to the table, in comparison to the B/G Escher I typically finish with.
Now, for a bunch of leather.

Thanks Glen, I also forgot to mention, that I also trim the sides of the tape so its just below the hone wear. This keeps the hone from riding on the side of the blade face.

Always a problem when honing a ol wedge with lots of hone wear.

I imagine this question has been asked before, but Mike, what kind of electrical tape did you use on Gasman’s razor? Is it just red standard tape or is it a different thickness?

How does one duplicate these tape tricks from honing to honing?
Unless it is a show piece it will need to be honed again.
I see an issue with repeat ability.

Sorry for the delay, didn't see the post till now. Originally Posted by DZEC

The red n black, are 3M, the yellow is a tape for marking anchor rode. Its used on boats with anchor winches, tells you were the anchor is, in relation to the bottom of the boat and the beginning of the anchor chain attached to the rode.
Lift one too fast, and ya might stick it right thru the hull, or at least damage the finish on the boat.
