That blades are weird. I don't like Persona Blue's but I like the Muhle blade which is a Persona Blue...
What did you learn from your last shave?

That even after 13 shaves a Feather blade and probably any blade will cut your lip.
Learned it’s so much easier to use a light touch when you get your lather right.
I'm learning a lot about the self-healing capabilities of the human body.
Familiarity can breed laziness. I've been using various R41's (rosegold R41, tortoiseshell R103, black R101) for a couple of weeks and the shaves were superb. However, for the last 3 shaves my technique has been a bit slap dash. No nicks or cuts but more feedback from the aftershave than is acceptable.
Soap doesn’t taste great
Feather blades do not get along with my head.
Take time to get the lather right. Even if it means starting over.

That a new Feather blade cuts the beard so quick and smooth that it feels like you’re shaving without a blade in the razor.
J-hook can handle my most difficult mouth corner area.
Cella continues to be a really rich, great and lovely soap. And very slick.
Mitchells wool fat seems to prefer face lathering rather than a bowl.I now get a good shave from the fat,one of the best.
That despite wanting to love ARKO (don't judge me - I like the scent) I can't.
It lathers up a storm and performs very well but that post-shave feel is DRY....

Absolutely. It’s just soap. That gives you the opportunity to use the time saved from the easily perfected lather and money saved from its modest price to get the moisturizer that works best for your skin. That way fighting with the shea-to-murumuru ratio is done while you’re not holding a razor.
That no matter how mild my single edge razor is, if I totally miss an area the hair is still there.
Not from my last shave but rather from my last thousand or so... I learned I wish I had been exposed to DE and SE razors when I first started shaving. It would have saved me years of frustration with ingrown hairs, razor bumps, and irritation. There would have been a little blood shed in the beginning, but it would have been so worth it if I had decided to stick with it.
And I firmly believe it would have saved me money as well. Why? Because I was young and didn't have the money to spend on several razors, brushes, and soaps. I would have been forced to choose my tools carefully and stick with them until I knew what I was doing instead of jumping to the next shiny new thing.

That switching things up often leads to a poorer shave than when I stick to the same set-up...
This ^
I tend to get bored with my set-up every 2 weeks or so, and then I switch it up.
This results in such poor shaves, it darkens my day.

Remember to forget me!
Absolutely! Every time!
Taking more care to overlap strokes cuts down on cleanup time afterwards.
Every couple of weeks is not that bad - I was changing stuff every day, for years
