Kapton Tape, how I use it and it's advantages. | Badger & Blade
2018年1月18日 · Before I found Kapton I was changing tape like everyone else during bevel setting every 40 - 75 strokes or so to keep my tolerances tight especially in the bevel setting stage, and I always change tape when switching stones. 3M wears slower than the other brands of black electrical tape and it is high quality, but Kapton wears slower than any ...
Kapton Tape. Any real Advantage? - Badger & Blade
2019年8月29日 · I often use Kapton, though one of the hassles of using it is it that it has zero stretch, so it will not conform smoothly to a smiling spine. I let the loop of tape form a straight tube behind the spine and just make sure that the tape is smooth on the contact point of the spine on both sides. So yes, electrical tape is a lot easier to apply.
Tape or no tape - new question on old topic | Badger & Blade
2021年1月27日 · Tape no math needed. One layer of electrical or Kapton for new will not alter the blade geometry enough to affect the shave. Depending on your technique and experience a taped bevel can be erased in about 30 laps of a 4k. I tape with one layer of electrical and layer of Kapton. Kapton will make the tape last longer and is smoother.
To tape or not to tape, that is the question. | Badger & Blade
2019年1月17日 · You don't want the tape gumming up the balsa. Here you might possibly paste a hanging strop but I abhor this practice myself and never do it. No reason you can't except that Slash says that sucks. Some honers are switching to Kapton tape from vinyl, with good results. MOST razors should NOT be honed with tape. If you don't know, don't use it.
Joseph Rodgers 'Star and Cross' microtome.. purchased in error!
2023年7月15日 · I used Kapton tape both sides, so as to put a miniscule bevel on the flat and use close to the original bevel angle on the front. Made sure it was cutting arm hair at 1K before proceeding, popping hairs at 12K very nicely now. Will see how this shaves before doing anything else. Suehiro 1K/3K, Shapton 8K, Naniwa SS 12K:
Any info on this Imperial Warrented razor? - Badger & Blade
2021年2月22日 · Sounds good and you learned some. Go ahead and use some 3m electrical tape next time. Don’t go lifting the spine and start that bad habit. Sort of self defeating to use a thin kapton tape (this so keeps spine close to stone) and then lift the razor. Anyway you just don’t want to be doing that.
Juuma Cobalt Blue - How to hone Yasuki/Hitachi Steel
2023年9月18日 · To fix this habit, I had to back way off on the pressure I was using, and then very gently torque the razor as I was honing, twisting it along the handle axis to gently favor the edge over the spine. Having to change your tape 4-5 times to set a bevel seems like a sure sign of excessive pressure on the spine relative to the bevel.
How does honing speed affect a razor? | Badger & Blade
2022年3月7日 · During the finishing stages i think the speed of the strokes can make a difference. Some stones get almost magnetic as the bevel plane conforms to the surface.
how to fix a frown - Badger & Blade
2019年9月7日 · Tape is used for two reasons. The main reason is To replace where someone has heavy handedly honed and took too much from the spine. So i can get to a proper bevel angle. Or use capton tape, that is very thin to preserve the spine from hone wear. I dont think anyone who knows how to measure a bevel angle would use tape to make the bevel too much.
Modern Filarmonica - Badger & Blade
2020年11月22日 · A few superficial scratches, and a small amount of wear on the spine, but the razor still has an edge that tree tops hair on my arm. My next step is try to bring the edge back on my Naniwa 12k (and if necessary, my Shapton 8k) using 1 mil Kapton tape.
