Tape Honing and "Sticktion"
Hi all,
Last night i made my first attempt at honing with tape. I used a single piece of .007" duck brand electrical tape. Althought i did manage to get a decent edge, i wasn't able to get the usual 'sticktion' i get on my coticule. Is this something that the tape prevents? Do I need to change my honing slightly when working with tape? Also, are there any cardinal rules of honing with tape I should be aware of before I use it on any other razors?
I am only using tape on my vintage razors because I would like to avoid spine hone wear.
Thanks in advance!
Matt
