Not obvious unless it is egregious.
Try running a single hair along the edge.
A "rolled" area will not grab the way a sharp region will.
Compare and contrast before and after stropping.
Not a HHT but some people can see differences.
Another trick is to compare your shave with a known blade.
A cheap tossable or a DE blade can give you that
reference as can a second razor. Comparisons work
best with a single edge razor.... I have a region on
my chin where I can feel each whisker get cleaved
by the blade.... shaving that region is how I decide
to replace or hone a blade.
Learning when a blade is dull is as much a learning
experience as learning what a sharp blade is.
