1. Honing with tape: I have seen some examples of people setting bevels with tape, then removing the tape for the finer grits/finishing stages. Will this work, or should you keep the tape on until you are completely finished?
2. Using barber hones in perpetuity: I have read that you can maintain a properly honed edge indefinitely with just frequent touch ups on a barber's hone or equivalent. This would be nice, but eventually don't you have to do a full bevel reset with coarser stones?
Thanks for any replies!
