Thread: Standard Reference Material for Hanging Hair Test

Also...

Some of the comments above seem to require that all technical difficulties be worked out of the FCT before it is useful at all. The HHT is useful, but difficult to apply uniformly. If use of a FCT simply reduces the chaos, reduces the number of variables, it will be beneficial.

Just to point out the "painfully" (pun intended) obvious with this Larry, Dovo factory edges are NOT shave ready to any of our standards
So although they pass Dovo's standard HHT it doesn't mean anything to the poor end user, other than the razor is sharp enough to cut their standard hair ... Exactly the point that most of us were making...
