The adjusted side clips combined with he adjusted back clip works well now. I used the pliers in front of the rivet to keep the rivet connection tight versus just prying the clip from the back which would have weakened it.  I can post photos if needed. Good luck
Thanks for the reply here.

Sorry, I've been absent for a bit.  I'm afraid that I'm not much of a mechanic, so I can't compare to the ingenuity of Lord NSIC... VERY cool post and creativity of the fix he describes.  I bent the little clip in the back as far as I dared so that I wouldn't break it, and then found that if I just put duct tape on the back clip of the SE blade, it worked perfectly.  Not the prettiest fix but it's a solid razor and gave very good shaves.  I'll probably put it up for sale or trade here when I get time to take pics.  Again, sorry for being so slow.  Have a great day!
