Messed up!!
My better half and I were going out tonight after I got home from work. I was late home so was told (in no uncertain terms) to hurry up getting ready. I thought I'd save some time by having a shave with my DE rather than going through my SR rituals. What a mistake. I looked like an extra in The Walking Dead!! I haven't cut myself so much in years! I had cuts where I've never cut myself with a straight. I then wasted ages stopping the bleeding. I'd have been quicker to have taken the time over a quality SR shave! Lesson learnt. Never again!

I did the same thing a couple of weeks ago. Look at the clock before I got in the shower before work and thought no time to SR. Got out grabbed the DE and bleed the entire way to work (about 45 mins).

Yup rushing with a DE always ends in a bit of blood letting with me.

No expertise with a DE here, but I've been drawing blood lately myself. Maybe it has something to do with our recent full moon. I nicked myself twice on the left cheek this morning with my SR since I was too cavalier paying attention to its squarish tip. My previous shave found me taking a slight chin scalp when I stroked too quickly using my off hand. Oh well...live and learn!
If this sport were easy, we would all likely be bored. ;)

"Slow is smooth, smooth is fast."
The prep is faster with a DE, but the blades are always hungry for blood IMHO. I usually shave slower with a DE as a result.

No matter what you use to shave with, rushing will get you in trouble every time.

I never shave with a DE. Those things scare the pants off of me. I have had three dandy shaving cuts with DE's, without ever having used them much. I would likely have either gone with a single pass straight razor shave or none. I am sorry to hear you had such a terrible shave.
-
Lay off the warfarin and you should be good to go. All jokes aside, rushing with either a DE or straight leads to wearing tissue on our face & neck.

When im in a hurry its two passes with the SR. Down and up. None of the facy stuff to get everything smooth. I'm the only one that can tell I didn't put time into my shave so why not. Haven't picked up the DE in 8 months now. And proud of it!

If I don't have time to shave with a straight, I don't have time to shave.
