Nope - just cut the end tabs off the entire DE blade. Left just a hair to hold it together. Fiddled it in so it bridged both blade stops and clamped the top down. Made sure the blade was secure and didn't move back. So I sacrificed the other sharp end. But when I was shaving with DE's I was always a once and done type of blade man. Have so many it just made sense to chuck em.
It was not as rigid as a GEM blade but it didn't seem to matter. Shaved wonderfully. You could do anything you wanted - long strokes, buffing, AGT.
Glad you found this hack useful.
I also felt that I could do anything with this razor/blade combination. It felt lighter and more nimble and I was able to work the razor quickly. It never felt threatening. I think the less rigid feel of the DE blade made for a better overall shaving experience.
