    Default How long for the routine shave?

    Ok...newb here again to ask a few questions.....So I'm sure there are a few out there who run into this problem.....fitting a new routine in your day such as str8blade shaving.....so I'm trying to plan this out.....I'm thinking for a while to start shaving at night so I'm not rushed....is that a good idea? I read that when starting out you should start by sections of your face.....start with one cheek, then the other....etc...I'm not into rushing at all as I'm not only into this for the best shave every time...but the whole experience every morning....so I'm sure the first few weeks/months will be getting to know my razor and my strop....I can't wait for my first full shave early in the morning.....I do have patience though....so my other question would be how long is typical of your routine? I have kids to get up in the morning before school and getting myself ready before hand means I'm up early......so I'm just wondering, for the experienced shavers out there....how long does it take you to do your routine? Half hour? Hour? I know it varies....but I'm just looking for an idea....I like to plan out my mornings so I'm sure for a while it will be over estimating on time...but better than rushing right? Man I'm excited to start this!

    Thanks all!!
