Yes, agreed.

I suppose someone should probably also mention that HHT is also a poor predictor of weather, and stock market behavior

It is what it is....and it isn't what it isn't. I think this thread set out to explore the first and not the latter...but I digress.

Thanks, happy to summarise

That's right, HHT sucks for weather. Shave tests, though...

Well, you have to actually have hair to do that test...once again, discrimination rears it's ugly heads towards the follicly challenged....sigh.

My barometer uses a hair to tell the weather...

Does it have five levels? Is it smooth like glass on your face?

Yup, actually it's exactly like that, "Stormy, Rain, Change, Fair and Very Dry", five levels and the face is smooth as glass... well it is glass!

I use the hht. Works for me. You dont have to. Shave test is supreme obviously. To ridicule it or tell somebody its useless or the only way to tell if the blade is ready is ridiculous. Like to use it? Great, find its a waste of time? Great. Whatever floats you boat. Some guys hone their blades on the frosted edge of their car windows. Great. Whatever makes you happy.

Then some people argue that the HHT is a pretty good predictor of shave-readiness, whereas others argue that only the shave test is. And then someone said something about varying mileages.

+ 1, an accurate portrayal of the question and the various answers in a paragraph ........ that said, this thread, @ 8 pages on my display, is now becoming a .......... ........

I was just joking with the 1st post. But thanks for the details.
