See if itll shave the hair off your arm.

You'll also notice they are sharp just by handling them. It'll often slice through a thin layer of skin that you won't even notice..until later.

i read some chuck adams and i remember him saying he saw if it started to cut into his fingernail with little pressure. another one was that he took a rubberband pulled it tight and moved the razor past it- if the band broke it was sharp
