Default Cutting Foams?

Ok before everybody goes off I am just wondering what people use to cut foams. I used a razor and they are totally hacked up. I was just wondering if there is a better way.

if you really wanted good cuts
you can get a piece of pvc about 1ft long and 2 90degree bends and get a piece of guitar string and about 2 feet of wire and a battery under 7.2 volts and there you go when the poc and neg are touching the wire will heat up and youll be able to cut the foam =]

Or....you could just get memory foams and not have to cut them at all.

and have them be completely useless for more than 1/2 the year up here...anything under 50 and they are horrid. Might not be a problem in arizona but it sure as heck is up here...
