Thread: how long do you take for a close shave

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.

still very new. For me 40 minutes prep, shave, clean-up 2 passes WTG, XTG. I am getting a very close smooth shave.

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

It takes about 20 minutes, start to finish.

It usually takes me no more than 15-20 minutes tops.
