Thread: HHT Gone wrong!

Yeah the hair was gone too

I did this many years ago when I got a swiss army knife as a present. I took a hair between my finger and thumb, and in a very dramatic fashion took basically a full-swing to bring it down onto the blade held with my other hand. Needless to say, I miscalculated a bit and loosened a nice-sized chunk of my fingertip. It was hanging by a thread but I "pasted" it back on and it seemed to heal after a fashion. Then about 6 mos later I was working on a car, a wrench slipped and I banged that very spot hard on some metal. And that ill-fated chunk of finger just popped right off! It had pretty much turned into callus by that time and there wasn't as much blood as I'd expected. It was just very weird.

Times have changed. I have more respect for sharp blades nowadays. And if I want to do a HHT these days, I've got to use chest-hair.

Yeah when I did this I was holding the hair stationairy ans moving the razor through the hair but now its the other way arround that works much better.

Sooooooo It that a HHT 0 or an HHT 10 ???? How would somebody calculate that ????


j/k of course

At least a 7.5

From annother post of mine: Well I must be doing things right because I took one of those vintage straight razor wannabe razors and honed and stropped it. Then I performed the hanging hair test and it did wonderfully, so I go to show my wife and cut the tip of my forefinger off literally, but at least I got it out of the way quickly and now ill be using my brain.

Oy Very!..I wish you a speedy recovery

Im already healed but thanx

Hold the hair between the fingers, not against them. That's the trick of it. And might I interest you in the Cut of the Day thread?

Yes I would lik to go to that thred and I was holding it between my fingers I actually cut through a verry small part of my thumb also.
