I've been working on a razor to remove a few chips in the bevel. I've been using a 220 Norton without any tape. I imagine in the next few passes the chips will be removed and I will be moving onto the 1000/4000/8000 hone progression recommended by the Wiki to set the bevel.
My question is should I now apply the tape to the spine? I have not used tape to remove the chips in the bevel.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
