When i finish honing on the stones I go to a Crox pasted balsa strop and just leave the tape on. When stropping on a hanging strop, without Crox, before a shave there is no need of tape if that is...

I would and do use tape on all my razors when I hone. There are good reasons to do so, already mentioned above, and few if any for not doing so imo.
