    about 15 minutes for me too. That includes prep and cleanup.

    20 minutes with a shower if I am pressed for time. Normally around 35-40 minutes, always with a shower, always 3 passes. I like taking my time and enjoying the process, for me it's as much the journey as the result!

    I do enjoy my time I just feel guilty about how much I enjoy I think it starting to be obsessive.

    When you get some experience it will take less time.

    When I started out it took me 45 minutes from start to smooth finish. Now usually less than 10 minutes.

    Including a shower a good shave takes me an hour, using WTG first and then XTG and ATG.

    I do not know how you guys get a smooth face with only WTG. Even with my Lynn honed razor I am not able to achieve this. Must be my lack of skills.

    Shaving is fun and it is the result that counts, so if I can not shorten the hour, that's ok.

    20 mins start to finish, 40 when I started 4 years ago. 10 mins for a 1 one pass to look presentable.

    10 to 15 minutes usually for two passes staring with washing my face and then all the other "funness".
