Could a razor blade be made that never dulls with a diamond or some other hard material (tungsten carbide)?

In theory a diamond blade will never corrode and will always be resistant to fine stone grit, but diamond is brittle = edges can get chipped. In theory a stainless steel strip could be coated with plasma deposited diamond and then sharpened = costs ya extra...
One company sells them, there may be more
