when is a blade dull?

I am a former DE shaver, I've been using other things the past few years. Currently I'm using a Sensor Excel in my rotation. I can't remember how long I used the current cartridge- I've used it at least a dozen times. I use a brush, soap (mostly cheap triple milled stuff) and lather and I don't have trouble getting a close shave. I use a silicone strop/blade saver after every shave (Razorpit).
The last shave I did, though... I was lathering up a bit with a new synthetic brush and I lathered and relathered a few times just to test it out, and got a bit of burn from the bristles. So I had to take a day off shaving to let my face heal up (I'm going to have to invest in a good balm- alcohol aftershave does nothing for a face to heal). So... is my blade just too dull, or was it the brush?
