... do they get along?

I recently acquired a razor that has lots of gold wash, including on the spine. The plan is to have it honed so that it can be used, but that got me thinking about whether using tape is hazardous to gold wash. Is the stuff too delicate for the razor to be honed using that technique?

And as long as we're talking about caring for gold wash:
  • How does one dry the razor after use? Microfiber?
  • Is oil or Tuf Glide safe to use?


Thanks in advance!
