Hair does not make a blade dull. When the blade gets wet, then is left to dry, it oxidizes and the next time you shave it chips very slightly at the edges making them dull. You can use hot water all you want just make sure you blow dry the blades completely dry when finished.

There's no myth about any of this it's fact. I was told all this a couple years ago by a metallurgist and decided to give it a shot. Now I only get new razors because sooner or later I lose them.
