Thread: The HHT test

I simply grab a chest hair and when it gets cut I know the edge is responding. It is by no means sharp enough to shave with. It is only an indicator to me to move off the 4k and focus on polishing. It has essentially proven that the bevel is sharp, that is all. I might consider test shaving if the edge passes a HHT but most of the time its still underpolished, in my book. I can read the edge a little by the resulting sound or authority the hair gets shaved but test shaving is more indicitive.

I will not test shave if the edge can't cut a standing hair though. For me, that would be silly. But its hair dependent. I think too many guys think they can pluck hair from their head. I'd suggest finding a more "curly" hair like a chest hair or the more traditional . . . ummmmmm, other curly hairs.
