Thread: "Shave Ready" ... Yeah, Right.

I never use this test to be honest. I've had razors that shave so well I don't even feel it shave, and none of them passed the test. I see it as a "look what I can do" performance rather than test. Even a lot of DE blades don't pass HHT, and there's no doubt as to how sickly sharp they are.

EDIT: I also see that you haven't actually shaved with the razor you got from a member here. What are you waiting for? Get after it! You seem like a very determined user, so I assume you've read about lather and how to make it. Just whip some up and try it. I shaved with a Zeepk in the beginning. It was the most horrible shave on earth, but it did work. I'm 100% certain your razor from any member here will do better.
