    Sometimes. It depends on what it is. I have used generic tape that didn't hold up as well as the 3M but it was the double sided red tape used for holding medallions on vehicles.I used that as an example. Now shipping tape is another story.

    Murf, nice looking razor. Should scrub up nice, but the etch may be lost depending how deep it is. A fair price.

    Got a very nice looking Goldedge on the way, a bit embarrassed to say how much it was. Equivalent to about US $35. Looks to have little or no hone wear. First one I have seen for sale down here and if it shaves as good as my Satinedge I will be happy. Hopefully it doesn't turn out to be a blood letting instrument like Phranks one..... [emoji30]

    I just got a George Savage straight in the mail that is a meat chopper of a blade. I didn't expect it t be so big!
    Have you ever tried to lap a barber hone?

    So far the Allright has been a beast to lap. spent 45 min on my DMT 325 with a constant flow of water. Now to do the same with the other and progress to 1200 grit and possibly Vaseline. I am really surprised on how hard these barber hones are. Ha here goes another 2 to 4 hrs of fun.

    Yeah, it can become time consuming but hopefully the end result will hone a razor like it should be!
