Could I use a razor blade to do this mod?
I just tried this with my el cheapo Rubik's brand. The kind that comes in the plastic clamshell with a stand.
The last step seems to have made the biggest difference. I used a Dremel with a round burr to take the high parts under the centers down.
It smoothed the cube out quite a bit, but it is still tight. My hands are sore from just a few solves. It also doesn't back cut even a tiny bit, which is causing me a lot of lockups.
Any other solutions for loosening these bad boys up?

Throw it at a wall.

Buy a core and hardware set.
I'm telling you, well modded storebought cubies with a type A core+hardware
I wouldn't. I would say that Maru did.
I guess there is no good or bad hardware, but then again, you have to draw a line. There's nothing wrong with Type A hardware, though. I think it's particularly good for my cube. Each Hardware sets should have different "abilites"

Reminds me of RPGs!
