    And I have never been able to find an edge that can tree-top my arm hair. This is why everyone's test has to be calibrated for themselves, but remember that it is only used as a precursor to the shave test.

    As Ron says, what works for you might not work for anyone but you, the person that taught me uses the thumb pad test, that doesn't work for me. You have to find what works for you by testing after every hone and learn to tell the differences. The Shave test is really the only test that matters.
