The removal of the old grip tape can be quite tedious... the older the worse it seems to be.

The only thing you may see (regardless of method) is slipping if the inside core of the grip is equal to or less than the diameter of the butt of the shaft.

I always put a layer of masking tape on, just to be on the safe side.
I found this with when I did a club with DGSL X-100. I thought I need the parallel tip for a used head but when I got to golfworks it turns out that I needed tapered. Forgot to check if the butt diameter is different. So now I have slippage because the butt diameter is different:
Taper = 0.600
Parallel = 0.610 (the only one in the Dynamic Gold SL line)

Oh well, another trip to golf works.

I like ghetto. I live in a townhouse and I have no room for even a workbench, so no vice. Ya gotta make do with what you got.
