It has been argued that one difficulty that arises when honing with tape is that it can generate guesswork for the future maintenance of the razor. If someone hones a razor without tape, after a previous user honed with tape, they will need to remove more metal (due to the angle change from removing the tape) to get a good edge. | It has been argued that one difficulty that arises when honing with tape is that it can generate guesswork for the future maintenance of the razor.

The dimensions shown here would only apply to this particular razor, but the general ideas stay the same. The main takeaway from this picture is that over time, a razor honed with tape will have a smaller bevel. This is due to the ever-increasing bevel angle caused by the loss of blade width, without the accompanying hone wear on the spine. | The dimensions shown here would only apply to this particular razor, but the general ideas stay the same.
