>You can't bomb forever,
It sounds like you're playing too scared, if played right then there's very little reason not to constantly bomb as Reisen. You can get to nearly max lives before even starting Rango (you can get an extra life fragment before starting her but the very first chapter of the run is super strict on Normal so getting the fragment there is incredibly unlikely)
you should pretty much always prioritise getting the graze over saving your bomb, as pointed out it's an even trade and you'd rather be dodging with a small hitbox any ways so the more you get hit the merrier as long as you're gaining lives from it
