I have been searching through the threads and I have a quick question that I can not find an answer to.
When honing I see that almost everyone uses tape on the spine.
Now I get this for saving the metal but, is it necessary to have the tape on there?
If I have honed my razor without tape (antique store bought) and now I put the tape on, will it mess with the angle and cause more trouble then it is worth?
OR is the tape not going to effect it so much and I should be able to get a nice edge on it?
THANKS for any comments or advice!
