you know holli, I actually agree, but its more cus I only have 7 razors... Though I just bought what may be a vintage hen and rooster and got a free 150 year old sheffield, both of which definitely will not be tested. I'll try and find a junker in an antique store... I seem to remember one near me, at $5 it may be worth it to test. Even if it work though I doubt this particular blade will ever shave again.
