Thread: Where do you get all the hair for HHT?

Or get an english sheepdog. I hear they shed like a woman.

I pull hairs out of a cheap boar's hair shaving brush I didn't like. Much stiffer than my wifes hair more like a beard hair.

There'd be some getting along-issues with my cat. Women are generally more cat-friendly than dogs.

My cat had status challenges with both the women I lived with when she was alive. Only after several years with my wife did she finaly relinquish Beta position to her and I think that was only because I kept taking off for weeks on end and leaving her to be fed by my wife.

I dobn't think animal hairs (pets that is) would be good for HHT since they're too coarse and not likely to give a good indication of shaving sharpness.

Must be a breed-specific thing. My dogs have always gotten along great with cats, at least cats that "belong there". With strange cats all bets are off, but if visitors bring over cats my dog either ignores them or plays with them, depending on how friendly the cat is.

My wife, OTOH, can't stand cats.

Or, if you want to save money, you could skip the HHT altogether. Just get a new Maestro every week and throw the previous one away. Way cheaper than getting married.

Unless I marry a rich, long-haired older woman out of convenience

Throw 'em my way please, I'll rehone 'em with the greatest of pleasure. I'll manage to find a few more hairs.

My wife's hair brush, because I wear a flat-top.

I would add, as I regularly do, that even the arm-hair test will vary from man to man. I had two razors, freshly-honed by Lynn, which passed every test I could give them with flying colors... but neither one would shave my arm hair worth a damn. I hold the blade horizontally, a millimeter over the skin, and those hairs all just bend like grass in the breeze. I even put a bit of scything motion into it; nothing doing. Just another example of "your mileage may vary."
