    It started as a question regarding coticles and Arks...

    Yes a coticle will cause spine wear. Use tape.
    That brings me to my second question, is tape necessary with Arks? They cut so slowly that I can't help but wonder if necessary there either.
    In the right hands using featherlight strokes a finishing hone is not going to put wear on a spine but If you've set the bevel and gone through transition hones with tape you might as well carry on and use tape

    these special American thread (and the staunch special defenders against the basic math at hand) are best on shaving interweb along with the razorock man etc ;-)

    If the location DE is correct, he is German and possibly not so good with the English language. OTH a troll would be another option.

    Or perhaps the bevel change constituency just hasn't chimed in yet.
    Well,...I figured it was too good to last... why waste our time arguing about things like politics, religion or covid protocols when we can argue about important things like tape or no tape?

    Note to self: Do NOT bring up tape vs no tape at Thanksgiving dinner.

    DE could also stand for Delaware, which is actually a state in the US, just a Yankee one, which is why many people have never heard of it.
