What brand is your hand auger?
If you are using new blades and it's still not working well something must be out of alignment, wrong angle on the blades or you have poor quality blades.
I have a hand auger made by Strikemaster (Mora) that I have used for 20+ years. I replace the blades about once every three years and it works great. I will be replacing them much less now that I have a ProLazer Mag power auger from Strikemaster, which has also been a great. I still like to use my hand auger when the ice is less than a foot thick and especially when fishing shallow.
