I've never timed my shaves...I shave with a straight razor to punish time.
My first shaves took 45 minutes. Lather dried up on the 'other' side of my face before I could get to it. Had to re-lather. Now easily 10 minutes for a single pass, 15 for a two pass. Not being in a hurry, just became more efficient.
10-15 minutes for me, but that is for lathering and shaving only. I spend at least another 10 picking out my razor and stropping it before starting the shave:)
Just the neck, 15 minutes. Head and neck, 45 minutes.
About 30 minutes from strop to finish. I shave at night and take my time. It's kind of like meditation and helps me relax after a long day. I don't sleep as well if I skip it.
About 15 minutes for me too; why hurry when wet shaving is so relaxing?
I am in the 15-20 minute range. I do the same as harrywally no rotation on anything, just whatever I feel like that day.
15-20 minutes I guess. :thinking:
I found cold water shaves to also be a lot quicker routine
I take about 35 mins for a shower and a 3-pass shave, including 25 laps on the strop before shaving and 50 linen/75 leather after. Since I don't carry a watch into the bathroom, I can't separate the times individually.
It did take MUCH longer when I first started...over an hour. Since I'm pretty skilled at bathing and have had the same basic routine for decades, I can only think that my shaving time has dropped. :)
