I am a few months in. My first 10 shaves were more like making a painting of my face with blood, scratches, and cuts. I always had a cut somewhere on my face, if not numerous ones. Once i got into a repetition of movement on my face, got use to the angles, paths, etc. I start doing pretty well. I now only cut my face if i am rushing, or trying a new technique.
Its normal. Keep shaving, improving your technique, improve stropping, etc. and soon you will not cut your face at all.
