    Just kidding, I don't really worry about numbers .......
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    One of these days I need to look up what the heck the HHT scale is. I always assumed it could either pop a hanging hair, or it couldn't.

    Hehe, I personally call it the HTT "Hangup your time test" because I feel it is a waste of time.
    Some folks swear by it though.

    Generally speaking, I agree. Neat parlor trick to impress your friends I suppose. Closest I come to that is checking to see if a blade tree tops arm hair, then the only one that matters: the shave test.

    No doubt about the shave test being the final word. However, during the honing process I use the TNT to check the progress of the bevel, the TPT to see how the refinement is coming, and I cut hanging hairs as I'm finishing. I also frequently refer to my 60x loupe. I never used the HHT as a parlor trick. In fact I hone in a room by myself. No one has ever seen me do it. I use it to gather data. Once it cuts hanging hairs with no fuss it's time to move to the strop. YMMV
