Thanked: 459Yes, happy with the shaves (happy to dump wedges to the next person who likes them, though, too). Just curious about other folks and what they've found with this - I find the HHT thing a bit annoying, because it's part of my regular routine and I've come to expect a good shave after it 99% of the time. The razors that don't like it as much for me, still provide a good shave, but it's a bit like flying blind.
FWIW, I have at times tried HHT with chisels ground at 25 degrees just for giggles, and they are very inconsistent - but that could be due to their heft, or just due to the fact that the angle is 25 degrees instead of a lower razor angle. I don't do that day to day (chisels have an edge blasted off fast, so geometry is more important than fineness once you get past what would be middle sharpness for a razor), but I do recall stu tierney showing a split then severed hair with one of his stones once and felt the urge to troll him (he and I know each other well and are friends) in fun by showing a chisel that passed HHT with $3 worth of sharpening material.
