You mentioned that you've had a lot of changes in your life. SR shaving is a great way to focus yourself, almost as in meditation, but the flip side to it is also that if you're distracted and your head just isn't in it, your technique might just be off without you realizing it. Sort of like how the harder you try to force an issue the more elusive it becomes, so perhaps the key here is to stop worrying about mounds of lather and BBS shaves and just be in the moment as best you can and--and this is my theory--sooner or later everything else will again fall into place for you.
