I have used some tungsten carbide blades - shaped like a girder to keep the blade straight and not prone to bending, and these have cut relatively soft bricks ok. They are made by bosch.
One time, a blade managed one side of a door opening, before blunting on bricks similar to London commons, but this was with the cut inline with a perp joint so that's really about 14 bricks.
I suspect the dry cutting did not help the blade.
