Here's one of them. Its shaving again but needs some work yet. I like the patina but am considering removing the pitting. What's the best way to do so?

I had a pretty nice edge going on this W&B and then decided to tape the spine. I think I screwed it up a little. Electrical tape on the spine has a different feel too. Does the tape damage the hone after awhile as far as a sticky residue?
I am in full agreement! A couple of years back I asked a friend and professional honer who is very highly regarded the same question about the tape and the hone as it felt different than it had when I first started using the hone. He reassured me that it wasn't because of any tape contamination, it was just that I was getting accustomed to the way I and the hone were doing!
Kind of like getting 'acquainted' I guess!:rofl2:
