What Stomach Acid Does to a Razor Blade
In a laboratory experiment, razor blades were incubated at 37 °C in simulated gastric juice. After 24 hours, the blades retained 63% of their initial mass, meaning they had lost about 37%. This was a simulated laboratory test, not a measurement inside a person’s stomach.
In the experiment, a blade lost about 37% of its mass in a day.
