I do not think you can modify a SE to work in that. unless you were to drill some holes in it maybe.

Curious about this too.
I got three autostrops as part of an ebay lot recently. Unfortunately they all have the notches.
Two of them have a sort of clasp which goes right across the blade and the other just has little movable 'grips' on each side to hold the blade. In the case of the latter I was thinking about modifying the razor - I think if I could remove the notches the blade would still be fairly secure.

As it was a DE blade I just was careful cutting bits of the blade, the shave was very so so, I think it needs the thickness of a SE blade, but hey I shaved with it  |

The shave will suck I am sure. It is worth it to get one of the heads that does not require the cut outs. Fuzzy |
