+1 to this. For me, it's my head hair (though it is thinning in terms of population, my head hairs are thick, straight and wire-tough). I've learned quickly that if I don't shave my head every day, it will murder a straight (it probably murders my DE blades as well, but I'm not so concerned about those.) It doesn't totally wreck the edge, just makes it noticeably duller.

And yes, I'm careful about angles and stretching.
