Thread: Bringing the HHT to its knees

Beat me to it! Exactly. That test means nothing until you have personally calibrated it to your hair & even then, it can give misleading results.

Wait a second! Are you telling me that I can't believe everything I read on Ebay? Are you saying that some of the sellers would overstate the quality of their merchandise or charge more than its worth? Say it ain't so! Does this mean that I may not have the sharpest straight razor in the world on its way to lay the whiskers on my face asunder? Oh, the humanity!

It will either deliver the goods or it won't, HHT aside.

Ace, was your first post serious or sarcastic? What about the one Jimmy quoted?

First of all, if my post that Jimmy quoted seemed sarcastic I meant no disrespect by it. I meant it to be funny, but on second reading I'm not
particularly impressed with it. I should have added a smiley to make myself clear, and I apologize for that.

The original post was meant to be funny as well. The irony of that one
is that I in fact did purchase the razor, not because I was convinced that it would arrive in HHT shape, but because I just wanted to see for myself. I figured either it would pass the test and I could shave with it, or I would have a new razor to attack with my meager honing skills. I'm out of "beaters" at the moment and have no other access to them.

If I stepped on any toes, I didn't mean to. I value SRP and would still be hacking away with a Pro Fusion if not for this forum. You can delete the whole thread if you wish, and I'll consider it a lesson learned.

Uggh, not again...dead horse, dead horse!

A razor with an unsmooth edge that has a lot of groves in it from honing on harsh stones can pass a HHT with ease too because of the "Teeth" on the edge. That doesn't mean the razor is shave ready.

I have found this to be true. I've gotten obsessed with the HHT in the past and it is alright to be that way. Eventually you'll get to the point where you can get it routinely and when you do you may find, as maineeagle posted earlier, that the HHT is not a prerequisite for a smooth and close shave.
