Hanging hair test question.
If a razor passes the HHT and provided it is not overhoned, is that a surefire way of determining whether a razor is shave ready?
I have honed a razor up to passing the HHT. The razor cuts the hair sometimes cleanly and other times it hits the blade and bounces slightly then catches and cuts on the next hit giving a ping sound.
After stropping the HHT is passed intermittently; sometimes requiring a few passes of the hair. The blade feels very smooth on the thumb pad moved across.
Is the blade shave ready then ?
