    Cool how long does it take you to shave?

    Im new and it takes me about 30 to 35 min.to shave.
    about 10 to 15 min.of that is on my chin and neck under my chin alone.
    I do two passes one wtg and one atg. some xtg on chin.
    My question is how much time does it take you to shave??Am I just slow or what.
    I noticed I can't shave with my glasses on do thoes of you that wear them notice they get in the way bad.

    When I started out it took me so long that the lather would dry before I got to the other side and I had to re-lather. I got faster with practice. I can do two passes in maybe 10 to 15 minutes without being in a hurry nowadays. It gets better and better with time.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    When I started it took me about 45 minutes to do a 2 pass shave - without rushing.

    Now I can do the same in about 10-15 minutes. That included cleanup and whatnot.

    You'll get faster with practice

    When I started out it took me so long to shave, half way through the shave I could forget the whole shave routine. These days from start to finish, soup to nuts is about 15 minutes.

    Another 10-15 minute guy here. Of course, assuming I have time and feel like it, it can take a lot longer.

    About 12 minutes, but I usually skip the goatee area. I enjoy taking my time.

    I'm down to about 30 minutes, don't really care anymore. It's about relaxing and enjoying the shave. That's why I shave at night. As for the glasses they don't get in the way but I do have a little depth perception problem by my ears. I think it's the progressive lenses.

    Around 15 minutes.
    I shave twice a day now. Once because I have to and once because I want to.
