I guess it depends on what kind of hair your using/have. Me, I have very fine hair. If I run one across the palm of my hand, I cannot feel it (and trust me, I have soft skin); however, I can barely feel it if I run it across the back of my hand. Although, It feels more like an itch than something touching me. With that said, I tried the HHT on the razor I recieved from Lynn in the giveaway. No doubt it did pass the HHT, however, it didn't just slice through the hair every time. When I brought the hair gently down over the blade, a bunch of times it would pass over the blade. I'm not trying to knock on Lynn's honing here - the razor shaved fantastically - I'm just trying to make the point that in my experience with the HTT, there are quite a few variables that can change the outcome. Hair fineness and if the hair is wet seems to be the biggest variables in my book. Also, hair (at least my hair) is more grippy from tip to root than root to tip.
Take what I say with a grain of salt though, I'm as yet only a newb and still await the response of some of the pro's :)
