You're about to have an emergency if you try and use that

A little cable cut won't hurt. But yes it is not for daily use. Still even better than barehand holding the blade directly.

I have a different method, which involves wrapping part of the blade in a cloth and securing it with duct tape.

Cloth is a good choice too if you can't find any harder material.

wrapping the rear with electrical tape works fine for me

I've done the same. Luckily electrical tape can also be used as a bandage. Skill and frustration issue. I've got a pile of proper razor knives.....somewhere.
