how long does it take you to shave?

**Deanstreet** · 03-24-2010, 08:59 PM

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.

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.
