I have the same issue with my arm hair. It's fine and blond, even though I have thick brown hair and a tough beard.

The cutting-half-way-up-the-stalk arm hair test doesn't do anything, even on my honemeister-honed razors. So I'll shave it at the root, but that doesn't tell you the same thing that you'd learn by waving a razor through your arm hair above your skin. I can get a knife to shave my arm hair off my Spyderco Sharpmaker, and I wouldn't use that to sharpen my razors.
