Thanked: 1587Well, I have always had pretty good success with the plastic type electrical tape. I often use two layers on a wedge to speed things up a bit. You do have to watch it on coarser grits because it does wear out, but that is no biggie if you are careful.
A few strokes on each side or whatever before you flip is not going to kill the razor - just be careful and do it evenly on both sides. You don't want to create an uneven or off-center bevel if it can be avoided. As long as you match what you do equally on both sides, it should be fine.
I have not had a lot of experience with my Belgian combo yet, but from what little I have had I'd say it is a good idea to get them if you can afford it. However, they are not as fast (as far as I can tell) as my Norton. You will still need a bevel setter, for sure.
