Honestly you guys are way over thinking this, and trust me we all have done the same in the past... Here are the numbers, and please don't take my word for this, there are multiple threads on this forum proving it...
Bevel angles range from about 13 degrees to 25 degrees, They all shave..
The mean and average falls at about 16 degrees
3M Electrical tape 33+ adds just less then .75 of one degree to the bevel angle on a 6/8 razor
By the time any of this matters the blade will be so short the flex and shaving ability will be gone anyway...
If you want to tape, tape if you don't want to tape, don't, the only real difference it will make is on the spine...
