You'll likely cut yourself a few times at beginning as you learn the technique to hit the contours of your face. That was probably true with Gilette at beginning though right? You can buy a thing called a styptic pencil to stop bleeding. They're great, and super cheap ($1? something like that). I have a few in various toiletry bags. I cut myself MAYBE once every few hundred shaves and it was usually a bump I missed on the back of my head because I don't do it with a mirror. The typical technique is with grain, against grain, cross grain for whichever direction the hair is flowing, but I usually stop after the second one because it's smooth enough.
