Hello Gents - Noticed that there was some discussion here about measuring razor blades. If the interest is still there I would like to let you know that we have a customer who has devoted almost an entire blog to measuring both initial edge sharpness as well as edge retention for a large number of different brands of razor blades.
He's built a special test jig in order to reduce the "human factor" in the testing. We think that we have gotten pretty good at holding razor blades between our fingers and conducting tests but it does take a little practice and a steady hand.
He employs a PT50A for these tests and uses, I believe in the majority, disposable test clips. Here's the web site:
