I’m sure you’ll get to the bottom of it. I’ll offer that those Personna GEM blade edges are great if handled with some care, but are quite sensitive to mishandling. Make sure the blade is seated under the tabs and that it doesn’t shift when the razor door comes down and slides on it.
I looked at @djundjila’s 100-use blade and my 31-use blade under the microscope after last year’s Austere August and was surprised that while shaving wear on both blades was pretty much the same, the 100-use blade showed more damage from handling at the ends. This is where you would expect it, but I have been much more careful in handling GEM blades since I looked at those.
