As far as the arm hair test and any test is that the results vary between 'testers'. While I have a fairy coarse beard, however my arm hair its very thin and fine so the 'tree top' test is worthless for me. However over time I've learned how my arm hair cuts when the edge is right.

I believe that when I am doing the TNT it's about the same as what running the edge along the glass is. I do the TNT at the 1K and then at the 4K with slurry. I test with the arm hair at the 4K with water. If I'm pleased at the 4K with water, I'm done testing until it's Shave Time!

If you don't have a loupe get one as they are a very valuable tool. I recently purchased this one and I'm very pleased with it:

Personally I don't use a microscope but that's my preference.

Enjoy your new shaver and thanks for taking Jonathon up on his offer.
What is TNT?
