    I started out the same way, buying lots of ebay specials and working on honing. I was lucky to have a forum member with a lot of experience to start me in the right direction with personal lessons. He used 1 layer of tape and so did I for the first year. I don't use tape anymore but I'm glad that I did when I was learning. When I was starting out I might have overdid the pressure and skinned up some spines unnecessarily. Not an issue now. Good luck with your honing.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I only tape on problem edges till the problem goes away. Than off comes the tape and set the bevel and move on.

    Using a pyramid to update a razor is like adjusting the time on a watch with a hammer.
