The edge of a blade will be sharp within a known range.
Most razors are made with the angle being on the shallow side of this range, to compensate for wear.
Frankly there are too many variables to say it will or will not make a difference.
Have you considered that the difference in the thickness of the blade and spine will effect the hardness, and in doing so the rate of wear on each?
pressure applied while honing, frequency of honing, there simply are too many variables...
IMHO tape on the spine is a very minor factor in determining the life of a razor.
