What is the best way to tell if my mechanical broadheads are sharp enough?

If a blade will shave your arm.

how easy you can cut foam. if you can just rub it against it and it cuts then your fine

I use the shave test on the back of my hand.

I also rub it across my thumb nail. It it skips across it its dull and if it digs in easily its sharp. Just putting arrow in and out of foam quiver can dull them. Also never shoot the blades in a target and reuse them on an animal. Use old blades for practice.

I agree, if it doesn't shave it's not sharp enough.

Run your finger down the blade.
If you bleed it's sharp.
If you don't bleed then it's dull.
