I don't have an electron microscope to aid my efforts, not a hobby grade microscope. Just 4X and 10X Bausch & Lomb loupes from my working days. I honestly don't care what the edge looks like... I'm much more concerned with what it shaves like, and even moreso with what it feels like.. or, how my face feels afterward. I know I can get my razors sharper and keener, but my face tells me "Don't do it"!
A friend from the old cot.be gave me some sage advice, when he told me that we're often chasing the wrong side of sharp! Words to live by... for me!
BTW, I'm of the opinion that an edge will degrade just by time alone... Perhaps not degrade as much as lose some alignment. I always strop within minutes of my shave. If it sits too long, I'll do ten laps again.
