The older Sheffield's were exactly the ones that had the most difference,
I remember back in the day having discussions out how so much wear was created on them,, all kinds of theories were put forth,
It has been 15-16 years since the tests went on but if my brain is working well tonight you might try searching some of Josh Earl's old posts.. I think you can still access them..
The biggest problems with these tape discussions is the idea that most people can hone and keep the wear even and equal,, The proof is right there on the spine that this is simply not true for most honers..
We literally have people that are Grinding the spine to Un-warp a razor this is a common occurrence now since my friend Matt introduced the idea of Tap and Wobble .. He and I disagree on this, although I am pretty sure he intended it for mostly GD razors
Simple is what simple does, Use a layer of tape to hone until you can hone without wearing the tape, then do as you please
One layer of tape is Protection Multiple layers are Correction...
