    If tape is used in honing, should it also be used while stropping to keep the angle the same?

    My understanding is no. The tape is so thin that the flexibility of the leather makes up for any differences when you strop. I tape my spines and have never used tape when stropping. No issues here.

    That's correct, no taping when you strop.
