It only bled for an hour but I had a spot I had to shave around for a week or so. I have yet to fix up a couple of smilers I have in the repair box. Will pay more attention and stop when I get the feeling I should this time.
I did something similar with my first go of my Joseph Rodgers square point wedge. Point dug into the cheek a little but I didn't feel it and continued the down stroke. Lovely slice for me there. Seeing it happen and still being surprised is quite a sensation. So too is putting a styptic on that bad boy!

After the first shave I gave myself bad burn too. I honestly think I used too much pressure and got away with it. I may need to learn to shave my neck all over again.
