Mustair it is. But I have a comment, either you are rushing the cuts and trying to do it in one swipe or you need some sharper blades, or both
Even with my sharp blade I will take 2 to 3 passes to complete the cut .

You will go through a blade a plane (roughly) , soon as there is resistance or tearing break that end off and start fresh.. Actually I use to go through a lot of blades until another guy introduced me to a strop, so I now sharpen my box cutter blade all the time. I think I have only changed it once in the last year and a half and that was just me sing it as a pry bar and it broke. Loads of them to choose from, that link below is what I have , you also want to get some polishing soap , medium grit.

Still take you time cutting, let the blade do the cutting at it's pace even if that means 3 passes.
I always do at least two passes...

My bench is a glass top so I tend to dull blades quick, mostly the tip. I have a sharpening stone I use, a few swipes before each piece i cut. If it starts feeling draggy or catchy in the paper on the underside its back to the stone I go.

I will sharpen mine multiple times throughout a build, one trick is not wait until it is dull just get in the habit of doing it after every few pieces you cut out.
