Thread: HHT versus WHT

Any tests using hair so depends upon your hair type. I was reminded of this last week when my Brother-in-Law was visiting from Toronto. I was honinh a couple of blades in the kitchen and cahtting with him. He asks me how I tel it's sharp, so I try a HHT for him. My hair is so fine I've always had trouble passing that test off the hones (it works off a pasted paddle though!). So I ask him for a hair from his young and bushy 21-year-old head. I couldn't believe it -- compared to mine it was like a copper wire. And not only did I pop his hair easily, I managed to fillet it too.

Light bulb moment -- my honing is OK, my hair is not!

I know my beard hair is like cable!
