I think you need to stick with a blade to really get to know it and how it performs if you keep chopping and changing you will never be able to get to know your blade. When you have done this grasshopper only then will you be able to appreciate the sometimes subtle differences between blades and then make up your mind to what works for you in any given razor.I've already broken the cardinals rule about sticking with one set up till your experienced, but anyway moving on life's too short and I always want to see what's round the next corner and over the next hill, So I've been trying different blades, sometimes twice a week, and I seriously can't tell any difference whatsoever!
Feathers, polsilver si, Astra sp, muhle, etc, cut myself with a few, mainly through rushed shaves, so is this something that comes with time, experience?

I'm like you @vassili I have been trying different razors and blades pretty much from when I started DE shaving. In any one week I might use as many as 3 or 4 different blades and switch between DE and SE razors.
As @JayGee says count yourself lucky if you can shave with almost any blade!
Regarding the BIC blades, I found these to be pretty good I even bought some more. And regarding the BIC disposable, I had memories of these being horrible tear your face to shreds and/or leaving your face feeling like it was on fire. Well I took one away with me a few months ago on a business trip and found that with good prep, a good soap and shaving with no pressure, that they work quite well. Not as good as a proper DE/SE razor but not bad, maybe they are better made now than when I was younger, but I suspect it was more to do with just shaving properly, something I think I never did for all the years I was a cartridge shaver.
