Stropping after a touch-up

Just a silly question:lol:
What is exactly HHT 4 : if I drag a hair across the edge and the edge catches and popps it 1cm after the edge touched the edge, it is HHT 3. If it is 1mm instead of 1cm, is it HHT 4 or a better HHT 3?

So after stropping (60/60), there was an increase of HHT (maybe not a +1 or more, depending on the answear to my silly question) on thick hair but it is difficult to predict the behaviour on thin hair, it seems to be dependant of the razor.
A small difference after honing may cause a big difference after stropping even if I use a better strop on the more difficult razor.

Regards

Laurent


PS: I wipe the blade after the linen to remove white dust before stropping on leather side, is it necessary?

A HHT3 is when the hair moves across the edge before it catches and pops, a HHT4 is when it doesnt move but catches and pops where you placed it, by the sounds of it you are getting a better HHT3

Of course this all varies depending on your hair sample, tbh I wouldnt stress over it, you start with a good pass (HHT3) and improves after stropping, so you have achieved your goal.

Thanks,

I am using the good definition.
But HHT 5 is something I only see in my dream:D
