Hi everybody. I believe that's a question about honing, since it has the tape honing part so,
I always tape the spine from the razors I use, and I always use the electric tape. And, as everyone knows, that tape wears down very easily, especially on the lower grits. The stone gets clogged and needs lapping a few times for each razor, and changing them every 30-50 passes or so is PITA.
So, I'm thinking about buying Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene or kevlar tape or something abrasive resistant that allows you to do the damned bevel setting with a tape that lasts. After restoring 10 razors I got from a friend, setting crooked bevels and changing tapes 100 times, I don't want to see any more of that black tape again.
I have found a few shops that sells them, and they are not expensive. I'm sure I'm not the first to think this, so, has anyone tried it? The use of abrasive resistant tape. Does it work?
Thanks.
