My hair is very fine and will respond to HHT only responds badly to this test. I also believe that the most important stone for building the edge is a fine hone (Norton 8K in my case). For that reason I use my wife's hair to perform the test off the 8k.
I hold the blade up to the sky and the hair horizontal with the root out and typically cut about 1cm out from my fongers. I bring the hair down gently on the edge.
This is very true. Becaue each of us has a different beard and uses different honing and shaving practices, I ultimately believe that it's up to each man to see his own way through this test. Even if you can determine a more standard set of conditions, what it will mean will be different for each shaver.
