Okay not to ask silly questions but.....
How much time do you guys spend on the 1k before you can pass these tests ?
Are they even doable on the 1k ?
I haven't been able to pass a HHT yet. I'm not sure if I'm using terrible technique on the hone or if I'm just impatient.
Right now I'm sticking with a 1k/4k pyramid progression and I figure I'll pass an HHT or have a nice toothpick at the end of it.
For the record I'm not certain my razors are sharp enough. I can shave with them but even with very little pressure and angle I seem to get rough shaves. So I've been trying to get the blades as sharp as possible and then go back and work on the shave. But I wonder how much time I should expect to spend before they get this sharp.
