@John_Doe have you asked Steve to hone your true wedge to shave ready without using tape? If not, he may hone it with tape (or freehand).
Personally, if it was me, I would ask Steve to hone it to shave-ready without tape and keeping the spine on the whetstone at all time. When I receive the SR, I would maintain it on diamond pasted balsa strops (or finishing whetstone(s) if that is your thing), again with the spine always in contact with the balsa surface (no freehanding).
