I know its not for a DE razor but it s a close enough fit in this forum i am sure
I just brought a pack of ever ready single edge razor blades from my local chemist. Has anyone tried these Im going to load one into my 1912 later and have a go. My first single edge shave so should be interesting..
heres a link to somewhere that sells these blades:

I haven't tried those; if you look at the picture they're described as multi-purpose and it goes on to list modelling, craft etc. The one thing it doesn't mention is shaving; I'd take it easy with these. However, nothing ventured...
Let me us know how you get on. if you're stuck I'm sure I can send you a few spares.
I suspect if you flip the pack over though it's made/packed by a healthcare company... and I wouldn't use Elastoplast™ or Micropore™ Surgical Tape (which has never stuck to me ever... even when a former nursey-type OH used it on me to dress a wound and used the whole roll) to put up wallpaper.
Well i have just shaved, im still here blood loss was minimal.
OK I cheated, having never shaved with a single edge razor before, i only shaved half my face with it the other half with my feather portable.
Reason, when i started using the razor it was really pulling, it was cutting the hairs but felt fierce and really noisy, like nothing before. but I went ATG and found it still cutting hairs when the Feather had stopped. I couldnt complete a full shave with this blade it felt to me a bit like the derby did when i first used it.
But it did work and could be really close.
Heres an offer if anyone wants the two blades i have left let me know I would like someone who uses single edge razors to give them a try.
When I was in College I had a job at a local garage valeting new cars, we used those blades to scrape the wax off the windows when the cars arrived sealed from the factory!! I have a box of a hundred somewhere but there is no way it would go anywhere near my face.
They went into a scraper thing similar to this
