Thread: Hair test.

On a serious note when you say "moving on in progression" Im not sure how HHT plays a role in that. Setting a bevel o.k. fine I get some folks test to see if some hair can be removed, it has some value as an indicator that you have a semblance of a cutting edge.
As far as moving though progressions, this I tend to determine by optical evaluation by noticing a change in the stria of your bevel evenly and completely. I was always confused by folks saying things like this should pop arm hair on the 4k level or hairs should not jump but fall away. To me it seemed to depend how fast i was moving the razor across the arm or leg what have you. Lately I have been really trying to quantify sharpness with thumb pad test. I know it can be tough but some blades I feel and i can tell you if it will shave or not, of course you have to try it to know how good it will be.
