Thread: The Thumb Tests

The HHT is just another measuring rod like the TT. Each man has to interperet the results of these tests and what they mean for himself. The bald bachelor will have a tough time getting the information he needs from the HHT so he'll have to develop the other ways of determining when to move on to the shave test.

These days I often have razors that pass the HHT but don't shave that well since I'm trying to see where the minimum limit is with my honing. If they turn out like this a few gentle 1/3 passes usually get them ewhere they need to be.

If you're starting to overhone the edge, go back to the 4k for about 5 or 10 laps and work back down the pyramid. That usually starts the process back at the 'beginning'.
