What you don't understand is that even if your "science" were right, which it isn't, hands on experience with thousands of razors honed with tape would prove it invalid..
Once again if you don't want to tape your razor then don't, but please don't try to tell us that it irritates you when somebody else does, or that we're wrong for doing it.. Because to many people use tape and we already know it does work...
