On another thread there was a discussion about what size chips could be noticed while shaving. Only a few people were involved, but the general consensus was that if a chip could not be seen at 10x you would not feel it during the shave. However I think it's obvious that as the number of these unseen chips increases the blade would at some point be perceived as being dull or possibly harsh.
