When you bled a lot I'm guessing you used too much pressure and/or too high an angle.
I'm guessing that for this go round you've lessened the pressure but either kept the angle too high or limp wristed it and now the blade jumps around.
If it's the Dovo it's got training wheels . Just lay it flat against your skin. Keep your grip firm but don't push against your face.
Once you have that down you'll be more able to experiment with raising the spine.
And the shavette is a great learning tool. It's not the same as a regular straight but it's a demanding teacher.
