Just got a note from Sergej of RigaRazor, I had asked him about refreshing the razor with tape or no tape, how many layers etc.,....he told me exactly what he does, and included a new roll of the exact tape he uses....can't wait to have a shave with this one.

And agreed, if the edge isn't my, "shave ready", nothing that can't be remedied fairly quickly.

As Tom Petty says....the waiting is the hardest part...
