Injector razor blades should work as well.

They are too thick for the holding slot on the strap cutter

I use the single edge razor blades. They fit my wooden strap cutters and I break off the excess length with pliers.

I have also used skiver blades, and like with all blades, they can be lethal , take care

I replied to your previous post about this.  Abbey England sells blades for the common wooden strap cutter.  I sharpen and strop these blades, so I rarely replace them.
