What issues are you having? Forget the HHT, it's IMHO very unreliable, the shave test is what matters.

Is the razor pulling when shaving when it doesn't normally? This could indicate it's time for a "touch up" on the blade, I do my touch ups with a pasted piece of balsa (5 - 10 laps each green and red then strop 75 times polyweb and 100 - 150 leather)
