Sounds like your problem is your surrounding. The worst cut I got was when my wife knocked on the door and screamed when will you be done. You need to concentrate using a straight pure and simple. I have shaved with a Feather and preferred the Proquard blade but again you need to concentrate. The Feather is smaller and easier to handle at first. When I am in a hurry, I use my Merkur Futur with a crystal blade on 1.5 setting and it is extremely difficult to cut yourself. Also use a good creme or soap, not a can product.
