Good luck and any questions feel free to ask.
And to clarify; most of us, when we use an "arm hair test" are "tree-topping"

Instead of shaving at the skin level we pass the razor parallel to the arm at the mid point of the hair.
I use this test often, and when there is a cloud of hair on the blade I know I'm at least close....

Shaving at the skin level on arm hair has not been a good gauge of "shave ready" for me.

Good luck, you will be there soon...
