BTW until recently I agreed with those who say that very thin hair is unsuitable for the HHT. Nowadays I feel that if the edge is sharp enough it does not matter what quality hair you use for the HHT.
You have accepted that the edge is sharper or somehow better at the standard of HHT. Going down in grit makes the edge more aggresive, but does that equate to a better shave for you? If so, it is a good benchmark for what works for you.
As I get more experience, the TPT give me much better feedback to let me know that the edge is ready.
