I had very little time today, so I shaved quickly. Results: no nicks, and, because I spent less time shaving, none of the over-shaving. That's good. The bad is, it's less smooth and less even then when I take more time.
However, there was one good discovery for me today: I used Trader Joe's shave foam, which comes in some kind of dispenser that puts out foam, ready to apply to the beard. There's an obvious time savings (it takes a few seconds to lather up). There's also one other less obvious advantage of this foam: it leaves a very thin, but slippery, layer on the skin. It's slippery enough to shave easily, and it's thin enough to easily see through. That is a major help, because with typical lathers, I can't see where I need to shave or what the shave result is. I think while I'm learning, a "see-through" lather might be a real help.
When I say I had a shave today that's not smooth, it's still as good as a typical Fusion shave I used to get.
I think tomorrow I'll try something different: set a count-down clock, and give myself exactly ten minutes to complete my shave. This way I won't over-shave, I will get done in time, and I'll get focused on maximum result in a specified time frame.
