Yes it is that Quinton ..... ........ Yes, one layer of tape as you would an ordinary razor and then three more on the wedge side. Since it was 5 years ago that I honed that animal I can only go by the post, where I said there was no bevel on the wedge side to begin with. I really don't remember.
As Glen said, those were for cutting tissue samples in laboratories, not intended for shaving. However, I found it to be a cool razor to shave with because it was like a 'split personality.' The full hollow on one side, the wedge on the other. Shaved well, and unlike a normal full hollow, no flex in the blade. TBH I wouldn't go out of my way to find another microtome, but that C-Mon is a cool one, and the first I've seen.
As for there being a slight bevel on the wedge side, that is a good thing if you intend to hone it to shave with it. You have a head start. On the Puma the 'flat' side has a certain amount of concavity to it, so like a normal full wedge, it doesn't lay on the hone, nor on the cheek.Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
