But it sucks to know that it is great and you are not sure why.

Better that than knowing it's terrible and not knowing why!

This just goes to show that, as we say, the most important test is the shave test.

What you are experiencing is pretty normal, at least IMO. Full hollow ground blades, due to their thin nature, seem to respond better to the HHT, TPT and the cut-arm-hair-above-skin-level test. That doesn't mean that they take a keener edge than a wedge. My theory involves microscopic bevel angle differences between the two, but I have zero evidence to back it up. The important thing is that it shaves to your satisfaction. Enjoy!
