I know that these ramifications would probably never hit in my lifetime, but, God forbid I have a son, I want the razor to have no real complications over it's lifetime... The longer you hone with tape, the stouter the bevel will get, until you need to regrind the edge, or hone from scratch without tape... In my mind it could get to the point where you have to strop taped...

Ask anyone who's done any blade or scale work for me... I'm a compulsive worrier >.<

And I'm not really losing that much metal... I keep all my strokes very light and low on pressure until I can find what works...

All that being said, I'm getting better, fairly quickly.

Fingers crossed, eh?
