Well Doctors? is my edge positive for shave-ready or negative?

I know, the shave test is the ultimate and best, I'm onboard with this. I'm just trying to see if I'm getting to the point where I could try the shave test.
Actually, Steve, on one of the earlier HHT threads, I described my results as similar to yours, and I was informed that the POP, POP, POP when the hairs were cut was indicative of a wire edge formed on an overhoned razor. If I recall correctly, I was informed that the hair should just fall over, and if it POPS, then ideally the razor should be backhoned one or two passes, then honed regularly one or two passes, and try the HHT again.
