Which type HHT is this? (video)

[linguist]

I honed my razor with a coticule and after strpping i made this test. But i can't classify it correctly.
What is your opinion?

This thread is the perfect example why I think beginners should avoid the HHT all together.

This wasn't really a HHT. When you do a HHT, than you should make it slowly, and not with a big swing like an axe. You won't get any info out of that kind of testing. Watch a few videos about this test if you insist to use it, but I would stick with the TNT, AHT and shave test until you learn to hone.

Thanks for your reply.
Yes i know. i can also manage hht4 easily.
i just wondered if it is classified or not?

The definition of HHT is that the hair is actually hanging and the blade is brought up against the hair. When it pops off you are ready to shave. You will also note the hair will pop more easily if you hold onto the root end of the hair due to the direction of the microscopic scales on the hair itself. This I have seen the difference in.

I realize there are conflicting opinions on this but for me, I know a razor won’t shave me unless it passes. Probably a lot of variables, skin type, personal preference, hair thickness, etc.

Try s l o w l y bringing the hair on to the blade instead. I have no idea what HHT that was .

[fccexpert]

Not very impressive as a parlor trick.

That the Cold Steel HHT:

That is not how the HHT should be done.
Here are some of mine.

This one I'm holding the hair waaaayyyy out. This razor was really sharp and I wanted to see how far out it would still pass

[Doc226]

On this one I turned the hair he other way, hold by root, he razor still passed.

[Doc226]

This one is a more conventional HHT



all three are HHT, different. The more important part is how to interpret with your HHT and your shave results.

I see what you're saying. You're aware that isn't the correct way to do the test, but you're wondering if the method shown in your video has a name?

I nominate "The Haymaker"

i literally flinched & was ready to duck when i saw the huge swing... i wasn't sure what was going on...

i would call that the mach tower

[Legion]

I agree with Seraphim. I'd classify that as Tameshigiri-1
