In lieu of taking a strong position in cotton tape commodities, I had to relegate my preference of the hand offered by the bare cloth and shellac. It was for the all-weather capacity and lack of room to tote replacement rolls on a long, super-fly cross country test ride of my Rambouillet.
To note: the perspiration or rain-moistened hand actually has an active grip with the shellacked surface, polishing it over time. Improved sensation of the bike's behavior was why I wasn't applying cork or plastic "padded" tape or hiding squishy things under the cotton. The well-fit bike took care of those issues without bodge.
