I've just had an evening shave with my E2 with a cut down Polsilver stainless and it does indeed work, it works just fine. You just need to take care when cutting the blade to get it spot on. Loads of feedback from the blade, well worth a try.If it works as such in the E2 then I might have to pick one up. I've always wanted to have an E1, but they are rarer than a lawyer who hates money.

It ain't hard.That's the part that concerns me.
To be fair, once I had put my glasses on it was easy enough to cut ;-)That's the part that concerns me.
I have not experanced the problems you have but I can say the cut down AC blade did work very well for me, I hope it works for you also.I have now had 20+ Shaves with the Single Edge. As a daily shaver I have a strong blade and moved quickly to use of a 3*plate. I have used various blades,the best results being with a Schick Chick,and even then a lot of hard work was required . I used it today with a Japanese Schick and could not get
a proper Shave.
I am truly disappointed with this Razor, as I can shave well with most SE/Injector razors old and new.
I have tried varying the angle of attack to no avail.I may try a cut down AC blade as a last resort.
Very true, the Personnas do seem to work well with the supply although it's only the supply SE that they seem to work well in for me!I was very disappointed with the performance of a normally-reliable Chinese Schick in my Single Edge, but it seems to work well with Personnas, which is a surprise, as I'm not that keen on them.
The Personna was awful for me.I was very disappointed with the performance of a normally-reliable Chinese Schick in my Single Edge, but it seems to work well with Personnas, which is a surprise, as I'm not that keen on them.
My storry too.I was very disappointed with the performance of a normally-reliable Chinese Schick in my Single Edge, but it seems to work well with Personnas, which is a surprise, as I'm not that keen on them.
It's great if the Personnas work for you, they are a lot cheaper and easier to procureMy storry too.

They, ( the hacked DE blades) worked very well for me, always worth a go!Interesting. The more I see these differing experiences with Personnas, the more convinced I am that they vary substantially from batch to batch. Unlike a number of other blades, DE or SE, which are either (in my experience) consistently good, bad or average, I've found that these seem wildly variable.
I ditched the Chinese Schick, from a 3-spot setting, because it just didn't shave any whiskers off, even given 3 chances. I have some NOS Schicks, but I save those for my PAL and Schick vintage razors, so I hand-loaded a Personna and it worked well. Unfortunately I have no idea whether it was from a lot I already had, or from those sent with the Single Edge.
Perhaps I'll find my chain-mail gloves and start hacking DE blades about, like @Blademonkey the Bold. Bring on the styptic and cotton-wool tufts!
