OTOH, I would not be quick to say convex surfaces are stupid...it is pretty easy to see that there is a bit more support behind the apex on a convexed edge and they tend to be a bit more durable in some regards (so long as they work well on your face)
Am i missing something! how can you create a convex edge from stropping aggressively or adding tape to a finished hone?
A correctly set bevel is perhaps 1mm to 2mm, adding tape to the back or spine of the razor changes the angle and does not create a convex bevel.
