Honing with tape is often considered by many as evil.
Most of people knows it's easy and fast to get a keen edge but all the same it's evil. They say once you have honed with tape you will never come back or else your razor will lose some performance and gain a huge hone wear.
So this is just a poll
1) How many (average) sets of half strokes is required to get rid of this secundary bevel ?
2) Have you observed a visible hone wear?
3) Have you experienced some prformance loss?
I have tried it some time ago, I remembered it took me 5 sets on milky slurry and it seemed there was some more honewear but less than 2/10mm (but at that time, I was more a beginner than now)
