First off, How do after a long time of my being off the SRP site!!

I was trying to touch up one of my Str8's with a barber hone, not having much luck , and then one heck of a bloody thought came to me[happens sometimes, not often though], if the honemiester that put the edge on a Str8 used one or two layers of PVC tape when setting the bevel and polishing up the blade, would that naturaly mean that the geometry of the bevel need you to tape the spine when useing a barber hone?? Otherwise it would seem to this humble reporter that the edge would not contact the hone while X-stroking for touchups. And conversely, when you recieve your razor back from the person who hones it up, if the spine is taped, shouldn't there include a note saying touch ups should be done with the spine taped? Or am I just making another mound out of a molehill?? Inquiring minds want to know[mine!]

Also, as an aside, did our most vererable Sense' Lynn A. Move from Medina OH, permenantly? Thought I saw a different address on one of his reply's to someones thread.

I thank you all for your time with my ramblings, take your time and have a great day started with a nice slow wet shave, of course!!

At your service, tinkersd of SRP.
