Didn't quite know which forum to post this in (honing or stropping).
I have a vintage razor that was honed with the spine taped (shaves great by the way). I have started to use diamond pasted balsa strops to maintain my edges between shaves which seems to be working out well.
Question is...can I use the pasted balsa on this tape-honed razor without re-taping the spine for stropping on the balsa or would I need to re-hone the razor using no tape before hitting the pasted balsa?
