Good question. I guess electrical tape must date to the early 20th century ? AFAIK, other than barber manuals, there wasn't a lot of honing information disseminated before the internet.

Other than info found in the few barber manuals I imagine honing straight razors was an art handed down from one individual to another.

Whoever came up with the idea of taping the spine had a good idea IMHO.

EDIT; My friend google said electrical tape was invented by 3M in 1946
