You couldn't possible see the difference between well honed and properly stropped with your eye.

I wet my thumb and lightly touch down on it. If the skin breaks instantly I know its good. I can lightly run my thumb down the length of the blade on a well honed razor. On one that is properly stropped it sticks tight and won't move. I won't recommend this as it could be dangerous.

Just lightly touching the blade with a wet thumb should give you a good sense of it. The razor will also begin shaving perfectly too, that is always a good sign.
