If you can't beat your computer at chess, try kickboxing.

Just to repeat what Andy Rimmer said; use a fresh blade each time, if not each cut then each sword!
And cut each angle twice: once at hmmm 45 degrees to get the "sharp edge" on the foam blade and then again much shallower, to take of the crest of that ridge.
Sometimes I use the big stanley snap blade in the holder, sometimes just on its own to get the feel.
I used to hold the blank crandled in one arm while I sat. You can only watch one "end" or "side" of the cut at a time.
Where possible, let the metal slide through the foam rather than have to push the cut.
For marking out the cut line I used either a biro to score it, or more often a line of masking tape which I then marker-penned.
As an "old-pro" once told me, "It's a lot easier after the first thousand blades..." !!
And let the evostik dry!!!
Not just for long enough to stick but hand the blank for several days. Wet glue stick, dry glue cuts.
Patience is the big key.

But I do think LRP is a hobby best enjoyed in a positive state of mind.
If you approach a game with a positive attitude then you're more likely to enjoy yourself there.
