    Try the AHT slowly at close to skin level, noticing if the hair lifts up before cutting. That will usually tell you the blade will tug on the shave.

    Cool

    Another lesson learned: Respect the blade!!! No joke, you can lose body parts! If you disrespect the blade, you will get hurt.

    All hair is different. Even the hair on my arm is light in color, so it is difficult to see.

    If you want to get good at the HHT, get the right hair. Otherwise it is pretty meaningless other than to impress your friends.

    The shave test is final. It either shaves well, or it does not.
