When I look at Kodak's graph for Tri-X 4164, I get only a hint of a
shoulder, and that begins at a density of 2 or more (depending on how
you develop it). Most photographers I know of would never want printable
highlights as dense as that. They either want them to go pure white,
or they adjust the contrast (if possible) in the field or in the
darkroom.
And furthermore, depending on how you develop it, the toe
starts at a density of 1 (though more likely, at a density of 0.7.
