Thumb Test....what is it really...new guy here
OK, my arm and head hair are too thin for the HHT. Then I hear the thumb test.
I don't get it. What am I supposed to feel? I wet my thumb, hold the razor so the blade is pointing up, perpendicular to the top of the table, I very lightly run my thumb from left to right over the blade. What am I feeling for? :shrug: I have done it on blades that seemed to just skim my fingerprints.... still a not so good shave. :confused:
I have lightly touched the thumb directly down on the blade....feels sharp.... same mediocre shave. :thinking:
I am not sure I understand the thumb test. Maybe just walk this somewhat confused and obviously mentally slow person through the whole thumb thing or maybe offer another different method for checking blade sharpness.
Thanks ahead of time.
