I never hone with tape unless real serious bevel setting to stop hone wear.
I have a thew razors that i dull and practice diferant honing methods.

Tonight i thought i best protect the spine on my kropp as i don't want to wear it out the bevel is a little broarder but not bad. Any way i dulled razor and ran it throught the 4k norton reset the bevlel and then polishedup on the 8k norton untill i was happy with the edge under 30k loop i can clearly see i have developed a smaller bevel i stroped and shaved the shave was better than ever befor on this razor even thought it always shaved well i will add coticule on next shave for any extra smoothness but to be onest it fine as it i. razor passed hht straight of 8k after stroping passed on fine stomach hair thats when i no i have a sharp edge (real test is the shave but agood indicator)

This got me wondering when a razor gets hone wear and bevel starts to fill out a little can this have an efect on the edge so creating athinner new piece of bevel can improve and make it easier to get a good edge i'm not sure on this one if theres any one who does i'd like to hear your opinion?. i no its like a second bevel but i did the whole process on tape to create new bevel which i will now keep.
