Thread: Thoughts on HHT...

Just some thoughts to add...

You need to always use the same hair - hair extensions are a good source of hair. It needs to be good quality and clean.

Root-in tests differently than root-out.

You can’t compare the sharpness of edges generated by different methods very well. That means you can’t tell if a jnat edge is sharper than a thuri edge is sharper than a coti edge is sharper than a DE edge (most of which are coated these days).

You can usually tell if the edge is improving with the same general kind of progression, say synthetic even of different brands.

I like to use HHT as a final bevel set test at 4-5k. I do a half strop, 10 canvas/20 leather and the hair should cut cleanly and easily all along the edge. You can test every mm.

Practice helps, just like any other test.
