Last night my shave was pretty awful. I think I figured out the hard way how many shaves I can safely get out of one blade (3-4 tops), and I couldn't get a really good lather to stick. As soon as I would get it lathered up and on my face it would dissipate. More water, less water, more soap, less soap...good thing I shave before bed.
Bad day for a shave

Some shaves are better than others. Having a dull blade does stack the odds against you. Its all part of the pains of trial and error. Now you know when to ditch your blade, time to work on the lather.
I won't push a blade after 4 shaves tops. As for the lather, give this a try.
Use a bowl and make several practice lathers, check out Mantic's video's on lather, and take some time loading your brush with lather before you start to mix it. Once you get it down, and it shouldn't take many tries, you'll always get it right. Try a few different soaps or creams too. Good luck.

Personally i never go more than 3 shaves whit a blade.
And don't worry, bad shave day happen sometimes.
