How long does a straight razor shave take you?

**Oglethorpe** · 10-19-2009, 07:59 PM

15-20 minutes on average for a 3-pass shave, including stropping, prep, and cleanup.

Sometimes longer, sometimes shorter.

Hi,

45 minutes from start to putting the razor to bed; the actual shaving part takes 10 -15 minutes for three passes.

Best regards

about 10 min if the razors good and sharp

About 15 minutes for one pass plus touch-ups, 30 minutes for a full shave.

All in, I guess maybe 20 minutes. Best 20 minutes of my day half the time as well..! :-)

about 40 min from start to finish depends on what music i have playing at the time

With beard prep, lather production and stropping - about 20 min. This includes with/against/accross the grain. I insist on a baby butt smooth shave!

Depending on the razor, soap/cream, brush and brain activity level:
slow: 30 minutes
normal: 15 minutes
quick: 6 minutes
