That's a bit like asking how high is up .
Next time I do a single razor I'll time myself but at a WAG....
A 66HRC Iwasaki , as long as it takes.
A new Dovo with no issues could take me 15 mins from 5k to end of stropping. I spent some excess time on one once setting the bevel with my 8k thinking it was my 2k. They're both green.

This of course does not include shave tests, tweaks, packing, taking microscope pics for the owner,emails & travel to the P.O.

I also agree with Tom. A minty wedge with good geometry, a rare & almost mythical beast, is as easy or easier than a new razor.
