   Is there any objective test of a blade's sharpness,   
   for the non-professional? (how do the pros do it?)  The 'finger feel'   
   method is way too subjective for   
   my taste.

   I try shaving a bit of my belly hair without actually pressing the blade   
   against my skin.  If a blade can do that then it's sharp enough for pretty   
   much anything I'm going to use it for.
