Hello,

I remember reading that some people apply electric tape to the spine of their razors, to make sure no material is taken off there.

The razor I got has a decorated spine, which I would like preserved. I imagine applying electric tape, would change the contact for the blades cutting edge on the stone.

Is this a good idea to preserve the edge? Or will a minimal amount be removed from the spine over the years?

I know honing is something you do seldom.

Thank you,
