What is easier to cut thick hair or thin hair? I figure thin because there is less material for the blade to cut through and that makes sense to me but sometimes the world of straight razor shaving is opposite from what you would think. I know that the HHT doesn't mean anything some times and some people loathe it while others swear by it. I know that when I first got my razor from classicedge.ca it didn't pass the HHT but the shave was great. I have since touched up my razor on CrOx and tested it and decided why not do an HHT and see what happens. Sometimes it passes, sometimes it doesn't. I have thick hair and my wife has thin hair and sometimes my razor will pass using my hair and some times it will pass my wife's but some times it will only do one or the other which I really don't understand. I would think that if thick hair is harder to cut and my razor passes the HHT with my hair then shouldn't it pass using my wife's thin hair as well? Also, if it cuts the hair and makes a noise is it less sharp than when it doesn't make a noise and just falls away silently. I have a bellied hollow so it's real thin and sings when I shave so I figured that it will always make noise during the HHT. I have never had it pass the HHT silently as I am sure a wedge would, I don't even know if it is possible for a really hollow blade to pass the HHT silently. What do you guys think.
