OMG you were serious ????
Back track to the statement about people reading and perception of what they read...

Lol a facetious attempt to derail this thread to tape no tape argument.
Mostly because of threads like these :(
Every single meet it is that same questions over and over until you pass the razor around and they see/feel in real life the differences between each of their tests...
Then finally all the variables start to sink in
Edit:
One of my personal favs at the meets it showing that it is actually a WET Thumbnail Test and watching their face when it works as they do it correctly :)
You guys are so serious ... obviously taping the spine doesn't do squat to a razor that's already been honed with or without tape and only being HHT tested. I just thought about how far off topic this thread was and thought it would be even funnier to turn it into tape or no tape :)
No one is claiming Devine intervention in their honing process. I think most already agreed ad nauseam that hht is used to some degree or another. The argument is whether or not it is a bullet proof be all end all test. And I say no. That is all good bye.
I used to get a bit frustrated trying to do a hht. Even with a Neil Miller honed blade I couldn't seem to do it with my hair. I one day tried with my wifes hair. Easy hht. Great. I then honed a razor and shaved with it. All good. I then, using the same razor tried at least 10 peoples hair ( they all thought I was slightly weird.) I got mixed results, some good, some not so good.
I deduced from this highly scientific experiment that, erm... everyones hair is different.
Just reading through this makes me feel that the thread should be titled " Question About Finishing with Coticule and Taping and how I got my HHT to 11"
