Hello Moviemaniac,
I think taping makes the angle to big, it will be very difficult to get a real sharp edge at the wedgeside of the japanese razor. In this point my razor has a full wedgeside. The advantage without taping is an even wedgeside. This will make stropping easier. When the wedgeside isn't even, it will be more difficult with stropping. With my other wedgerazors I made the experience that they are sharp a very long time when I hone and strop as I described before.
With kind regards, Paysbas
