I prefer shaving in the evening, so I'm never rushed. If I nick myself, it's healed up overnight.
I have a Merkur 34C now, really like the weight of it compared to some of my earlier razors. I have been using Feather blades for years, I think they are a love them or hate them choice.

Also, a decent badger brush and a proper shaving mug to get a good lather going. It seems like a big production, but I can be shaved in under 5 minutes in the morning.
