For me, all these tests say nothing about the shaving capabilities of my edges. I've had blades that passed a HHT with flying colours and shaved badly and vice versa. I still use them during honing but do not rely too much on them. The shave test is the only test that matters.

To be honest, that is where I am. The shave is the ultimate test, but I am using these tests as a guide as I figure out what works for me.
