    happens all the time... the tpt and shave test are much better indicators of shave readyness

    Yes. The HHT has some merit, but is no indication of shave readiness. It's possible to pass the HHT, then refine the edge further & it'll fail. It may be that it works best when there are some "teeth" to grab it.

    Absolutely. While a positive HHT can indicate a shave-ready razor, a negative HHT doesn't mean it's not shave-ready.

    I have several razors that don't quite pass the HHT perfectly but shave fine. My first razor didn't pass it at all and shaved great.

    That's why they say the shave test is THE test.
