There must be something about the hanging hair test that I'm not doing right, even though I've read about how i'ts supposed to be done and I've watched demonstration videos, because I have several str8s that were professionally honed, and though they shave just fine, none of them, even when brand new and fresh from the honemeisters, were able to pass the HHT.

I would like to know how to correctly do the HHT so that when attempting my own honing I'll be able to judge my progress.

I would really appreciate any help anyone might be able to provide.
