Is that the floor shaking or just me?
The more you use the str8, the more you will improve. I remember my first. My hand wasn't shaking that bad when I started. A weeper here, a nick there. Before I was done it was like I had the DT's, and didn't even go to my neck.
I was like, "Dude, what were you thinking?" Didn't help any that when I saw my wife later in the day, she said I looked like I had been in a cat fight. I said yeah, the cat's name was Boker.
Latch on to a healthy styptic like a Col Conk or Clubman. The alum blocks are excellent too for those gushers. Just kidding. I've probably cut my ear lobes more than I have my face.
The bleeding will stop, but the comments, not so much. When you become proficient with the str8, you'll never look back. Enjoy.
