Thread: Bringing the HHT to its knees

congratulations on the problem-solving power of your faith in the promises in the ad. May your newly purchased razor fulfill them on arrival

I worked on some ebay razors and was thrilled when I honed a whole set (7) that passed the HHT. The thrill left when the first one I used was giving such a lousy shave that I picked another. That one gave a great shave. I finally get what the senior members on here mean when they say the HHT isn't the be-all and end-all of testing a razor. Only the shave counts. I'm sure, though, that your new razor will give an excellent shave! Let us know.

People put too much stock in the HHT, Shaving is the true test. Don't get hung up spliting hairs.....Learn how to judge the blade with the TPT, after a while, you'll know what a shave ready blade feels like...

+1 on that...when I hone any razor in my rotation, I set the bevel and test it by shaving arm hair; if the blade pops arm hair, I go to the next step and polish the edge, strop and shave. HOG
