I've been trying to use the hht to judge an edge and for some reason I can never actually cut the hair. I've used hair from my head, chest, arms, face, and legs all with same results.

I've watched videos on how its done and I believe I am doing it right. I hold cuticle end and try bringing it down on the edge at every speed and different distances from my fingers.

I tried it on a brand new dovo from straight razor designs. I've tried it on a razor the day I got it back from Glenn after he honed it and still nothing.

Could it be possible that my hair is too soft or flexible. And is there any other test I can use to assess the edge beyond 6k?

Thank you in advance.
