Don't worring about the Hanging hair test (HHT) If you read in the forums here you'll hear alot of people say its useless unless it's calibrated to your hair..lol..everyones hair is different and some just wont pass the test. For example my hair is very fine and I have razors that won't pass the HHT yet will cut my finger off in the blink of an eye if I don't pay attention and yet I have other razors that will pass. The most important test is the shave test...experiment with your angles and it'll come.
