Nope, a microscope will tell you diddly about how the edge will feel on your face. Only your face will tell you that. A scope will show chips, wires & other anomalies but 2 nice shavers can appear radically different, edge wise under a scope. Aiming for highly polished bevels as in the above video can be a great step to a harsh edge.
