Because the angle would be too acute? Is that the right word?

Swedish razors are generally some of the harder steels

Sheffields in general tend to be on the softer side

Above, please note the "In General"

Carl you have to watch the word "Too" that is where we all get into arguments

In general 16-17 degrees is the target for most razors so if you left the spine high and honed away a ton of edge the angle would go up, the highest angle I have honed and shaved on a razor is 23 degrees, I have heard of higher but I haven't seen it myself..

Yes, I guess it's all very subjective. It's not like I'm going to be measuring any angles or anything :-). I'm just happy I think I understood the answer about the tape.

Now, I just wanna know if WW243 is going back to get that razor and give it a whirl!

Too damn far to drive, that it what made me crazy.
