I also like a piece of rubber hose, but prefer my fingers the tape thing should solve this.

Yeah....if only I listened to my own advice.....

I can't believe this hasn't been said yet.

Carefully.

Tape seems brilliant, but how do you tape it and still work at the grind? Tape carefully and very very close to the edge only? I would think you're still going to end up with a line in the grind where the tape was? Partly looking polished up, partly not. Wouldn't you?

I think Bill Ellis' little magentic razor holder idea is great for this, although I haven't tried it myself. Forgive me if I'm misremembering and it's not actually Bill Ellis' design.

Just tape the bevel. It gets polished through diff. means anyway.

I use bill's razor holder thing.
