I have 3 straight razors, a Cadman Bengall (the first one) was sent to a honemeister here in Australia who honed it using 3M Super 88 electrical tape.
The other two I purchased on eBay or FB Marketplace and I set the bevel and honed them using Kapton tape.
I am very impressed with the longevity and low friction of the Kapton, and would like to touch up the Bengall using Kapton so I can use Kapton for all my razors and don't have to think 'what tape did I set the bevel on this one with'.
Will I have to go back to my Suehiro 1K to set the bevel again on the Bengall, or will perhaps touching it up on a Shapton 8K and Naniwa Super Stone 12K be suffice to alter the bevel? My stones are Suehiro 1K/3K, Shapton 8K, Naniwa 12K. I had the best shave of my very short straight shaving career today on my Blue Wonder finished with Kapton on the 12K.
