Interesting, I hadn't read this HHT Wiki before reading this post.

I differ a bit with the "results" section, particularly #'s 2 through 4. In my experience the " Split" (HHT #2) comes just before HHT #5 ("Silent Slicer") so that I would switch #2 and #4.

Also, I've found that something equivalent to HHT #0 ("Shave") = a harsh, or no shave, and that stropping will improve the edge very quickly from HHT #0 to HHT #5.

HHT #5 will allow for a single pass BBS taking into account beard prep and shaving technique.

Agree that HHT is not a parlor trick.
