Thread: Stropping question/issue...

let me clear myself lol I did not strop the razor before shaving with it for the first time. I READ THE DIRECTIONS!!! lol
and it gave me a GREAT SHAVE!

Yes, I think it would have value to tell you when something changed. (could be from passing to failing on your way to a good shave). I think people are saying the problem is that it is misused and misunderstood. Especially newbies, tend to take it as a pass=good, fail=bad. Black and white and deterministic. The regret is over the countless post of "I don't understand what's wrong because it passes the HHT but I still get a lousy shave".

Some truth in that.
I find the HHT is passed because the shave test is passed but not vice versa.

Just for fun. Has anybody tried the HHT straight after a successful shave test ?

Well after it popping the hairs on my arm I went ahead and shaved today for the second time,. I only did wtg and xtg and it went fine. My beard is sensitive so I can't go ATg unless my hair has grown for a week. But the shave is awesome. I stropped it 50 laps and 50 again after I shaved. I tested with my arm hair and it just sliced them like air.
