Thread: Arm Hair Test (AHT) and Hanging Hair Test (HHT)

I have unsuccessfully "honed" only 4 or 5 razors, so this is a really naive question, but:

What is conceptually the difference between the AHT and the HHT ?

I know how to do them, so I know there is a procedure difference, but I can't really understand what is the difference between cutting a hair hanging from your finger or a hair hanging from your arm (especially when you try few mm or cm above skin level...)

I'm all the more surprised that the HHT is clearly controversial while the AHT is clearly not.

ideas?


thanks.
