I used to use tape for the double bevel effect, and it worked, but I really wanted to get the blade just as sharp with a single bevel. So I went back to the drawing board, and reset my razors with a single bevel (no tape).
I'm able to get great edges with a single bevel off the coticule now, using the dillution method. It just takes me a *lot* longer to get there (single bevel=larger bevel...). For my 1/4 wacker, it probably takes me an hour dilluting down the slurry, then I do about 200 strokes with just water. The process is much faster on my full hollow Dovo.
