I do a WTG/ATG two pass shave with some touching up and get it done from lathering through clean-up in 10 minutes or less. I don't think I could look at my face for any longer than that without becoming ill.
One pass, I try to keep improving my technique so that every shave is better that the last one. Would more passes make an improvement? Yes, but one pass forces me to concentrate on how and what I am doing. I shave in the morning and start to finish it takes 17 minutes. No messing around. I wash my face strop the razor, whip up the soap and shave. I gave up the wet towel etc. as it did not help the shave.

I'm pretty new and shave in the evenings as well. Takes about 45 minutes for the whole process. I hope to be able to switch to mornings once my proficiency allows.
Who cares how long it takes, for me it's like taking a ride in the convertible on a summer day. I do agree on the night shave, although I alternate to days occasionally. I office from home and right now it's slow so I sometimes shave around 10AM after morning business. Just me and the dogs, how sweet it is.
I wrap it around my shower so it takes me an hour for the whole thing.
Shave On!

It closes the pores and acts as a mild antisceptic... gives a nice sting/tingle.
After you've given your face the cold water rinse, run some cold water over the block and just rub it over your face/neck. I just use a styptic pencil, they're about 2 bucks at the drugstore.
Shave On!:rock:
