Im using the straight every day now but shaving at night to give myself plenty of time. Last night was cut and razor burn free and the shave was close enough to go without a safety razor touch up this morning before going to work. I figure a month of daily straight razor shaving should have me pretty proficient at it.
At that point I can probably move to morning shaving with the straight.

Depending on if I stroped the evening before, 30 mn, but usually more like 45 to one hour. I really like to take my time and enjoy this moment.

35-45 minutes for shower/shave (depending how long I decide to stay in the shower
), the shave itself takes about 15 minutes, but much of the beard prep takes place in the shower...

The wife likes it that way. 
I actually have a full-grown beard on my face.
Seriously, thanks for the note. I got a good laugh. I'll be more careful with my idioms next time.
Actually, I did shave one time below the belt---in preparation for my vasectomy. I used a spike point 8/8 for that job.
Joking! I could never do that to a str8. I used some cheap plastic-handled disposable.
Okay. I think I've said enough for now.
Moving on . . .
No worries, the big meanies here pulled me up on posting a similar comment, so I just had to sorry, can't you see my Halo?
However, if you would like to say more on the "below the belt" subject, check out this thread - http://straightrazorpalace.com/shavi...hie-razor.html

It takes me about 20-25 mins with my Henckel, longer with my other two razors because they have some wicked spikes on them, and I go slow becasue of that.

If it's in the morning before work it takes me about 7 - 10 minutes.
If it's evening or on the weekend I take my time and work on my technique, closer to 20 minutes.
