Thread: Verhoeven Paper Question

I wonder if a high-grade analytical balance could detect a weight difference in a razor after say 100 laps on linen. If so, then this could add some data to the discussion. Like this:
1. weigh razor
2. strop on latigo 100 passes then weigh again
3. strop on linen 100 passes then weigh again
4. strop on newsprint 100 passes then weigh again
5. strop on newsprint dusted with CrO, 100 passes then weigh again

You would need to wear latex gloves and keep the razor clean. Sweat and oil from the skin would probably weigh more than the lost metal.
