I don't think the HHT has any bearing at all on this. I myself don't consider it a test at all, unless you're going to pluck the hairs from your face and cut them hanging from your fingers, but that probably sort of negates the whole idea of using a razor. But that's just my opinion of course.

Are you new to stropping? if so, it could actually be your stropping that has dulled the edge, esp as you are using abrasives.
