Thread: Should I try to tackle this (very difficult, IMHO) challenge?

Yea, don’t worry about it. This baby is not going to be a looker, and with all that tape you will never have an even bevel.

If you stay on the 2k, the bevel will get a bit wider, but it will be stronger and probably closer to what the bevel angle should be, if it had the original spine thickness.

The 2k is pretty aggressive, just does not leave the deep stria of a 1k, so just keep working the 2k. I have been playing with a Naniwa 2k green brick, with good results. The 1k is good for hogging off steel, but a 2k is more of a finesse stone that can sneak up on an edge and still remove material but save not leave deep stria, with a straighter edge. And it’s not that much slower, just a few laps more.

Actually, I am impressed your bevels are as consistent as they are, with all that tape on it. Tape gets wobbly, especially if you are leaving it on for days. BTW WD40 gets the glue off easily with a paper towel.

I never leave tape on a razor, if water get under the first layer, it will rust.
