Using a double edge in a single edge razor?

I'm running low on SE blades for my disposable straight razor. Im wondering if if breaking a double edge razor will affect the way the blade performs.

I snapped one between my fingers last night and perfect fit, however the broken ends were slightly bent and required some attention.

1. Is this common practice?
2. Whats the best way to snap a blade?
3. Its way cheaper then buying SE blades even from an auction.
 
I think lots of people do this. I know I did when I was dabbling in disposable straights. You can (if you are careful) snap the ends off also.

1 Cheap $6 Turkish disposable straight and another cheap $8 Italian Made straight. Purchased it at the local beauty supply shop that supplies to the barbers in town.

One has the high adjustment bar which the blade notches sit on, the other is slide in style so no adjustment.
