Could they make razors with carbide?

You could always be a real man and grow a beard. THEN your blades
last months because all you use it for is shaping the edges. Until
then, enjoy the hassle of daily shaving.

Don't misinterpret my intent with the wrong tone.)

ISTR at one time reading that it is the water spots on razors which
render them useless after a time. A suggestion was made to keep a used
blade in solution of something or other (I want to say glycerin, maybe
mineral oil) to keep them fresh.
