Whoa...
Uh, I don't know what to say, except "I'm goin to Disney World!" I was testing my razor this evening with a stray badger hair after shaving, and it actually split the hair right down the middle, just like a cartoon! Didn't know that was possible, but wow, I'm amazed. Sorry, just had to share the excitement

To think I was excited to finally just now get one of mine to pass the hanging hair test (my hair). I finally hit the target and you go and split my arrow in two.....lol
Cool!

I have no idea how it happened - it was an accident, and I nearly dropped the razor when it happened.
Congrats on your successful HHT!

What kind of razor did you use? And how was it honed?

Twas a Tosuke, honed using the 3:2 washboard method first on the 8k side of a Norton, then on a Spyderco UF.

The more razors you hone and use the HHT on the more you will see that. It is not unusual.

Very cool pic and congrats!
I never get the hair to split quite so far up, it usually splits for a few mm's then pops in half. The width of a hair (human) is about 20 microns, and the edge on a razor is less than 1. So it's really just a matter of pulling a hair straight down the center of the blade. But as we all know that easier said then done.
Again, congrats!
