Would you tape the spine even for just touch ups on a wedge? I am receiving my first sheffield 7/8 wedge soon and want to know how to do touch ups on the razor. Is the tape only for bevel setting? You can see the blade in the classifieds page 3-4 april 6.

I would use the same amount of tape any time it touches the hone. I believe I have read some create a double bevel, but they go from no tape to more tape, not vice versa.

well I believe this wedge I own is pretty common it is the lather well shave well one, which I believe if it isn't a full wedge it is very close to it. I am getting some results from honing it and I am keeping it with one tape though some parts of the edge seem to have a larger bevel I will post pictures soon once I buy a camera like thise month or something to get some more appropiate feedback. Can someone post pictures of a wedge just to see what the bevel looks like please? thanks.

ok so I am getting a little bit frustrated, the middle of the blade is developing chipping I think its time to send it to a pro, and find a wedge I can actually practice on not one I am trying to shave with. Thanks for all the tips though I think its only a matter of practice.

why do you think it's chipping? too much pressure?

I've got a Wosty that looks exactly like that with no tape. Its mildly annoying. Enough so that I'm seriously thinking of taping it....

I used to tape all my spines. Changed my mind now unless there's cosmetics like worked spines etc. involved.
