I couldn’t agree more. One other way to check is to slice a sliver off the edge of a piece of paper. Hard to describe in print but I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. It’s not as reliable a test but more dramatic in front of a class.

Showing the students under the magnifying glass the difference between a dull edge and one freshly sharpened!
It’s amazing what you can’t see when you know what to look for!!

Cheers
