Same here.
I find wrapping bars one of those Zen kind of jobs.
On my Cougar I got the levers in the right place then removed them from the clamps, then taped the bars. When you get it right it looks good.
I've been using standard/smooth Fizik tape for a good 7 years now (I had white tape on track drops with a cross lever painted white!) cause it's really comfortable and looks good. I've only found it slippy if I've ridden without mitts - which is onl going to be down the corner shop anyway....
