I use an old German straight razor to work that down to something that disposable razors can handle.
And then I generally go through a bag of them.
To shave one time.
My beard is like re-bar.
So I don't shave, mostly.
I save lots of money on razors that way.
Besides, it alarms the neighbors and scares the children when I appear unshaved.

I hate to poke a hole in the theory, but once my wife shaves her legs with my blade I can tell a HUGE difference. She says What? Me???. Maybe too much oxygen down there?
