And how would you determine if you needed to do this. I have numerous razors I would like to get honed up. And if this tacktic is a good I would like to know how and why. Any help would be appreicated.
Thanks Tony

To answer your question .
What is a difficult razor? Most likely Wedges.
How you will find out? you will see if you wont put couple layers of tape you will hone whole surface(no hallow surface on the blade) of the blade.
tactic is good or bad?
some people likes some don't.
As your primary hones are Nortons and 1k Norton will eat the spine very fast. As you using 1 layer of tape really not bad idea.
hope this helps.
