    If I have to shave fast I use a Schick Injector and face lather with Arko. I usually shave at night so it's not a problem

    One pass and don't worry about BBS. Not any slower and I think faster than a DE. You have a wider blade!

    I usually shave in the evening. But if I have a rushed morning shave, I use my Slant with Feather Nanika. Just splash of water, rub in the Nanika, good for two passes. And two passes with a Slant does the trick for me. DFS with no irritation. Splash on Proraso and out the door.

    I also shave in the evening, so I do not run into that problem. I can't rush a shave since I've been using a straight and a de. It always ends up bloody.

    A lot of people on here have recommended shaving in the evening. I second the suggestion. I commute by bicycle so a shower is most definitely needed at the end of my day, and no shave is better than one right after a hot shower. Plus, I find the relaxation and calm brought about by a leisurely shave improves the end of my day as well as the start of my next. Also, in the summer breaking a sweat on a windy bike ride after a morning shave is not the most comfortable, and likewise the blast of cold air in the winter soon after a morning shaving is equally disconcerting. An added bonus to shaving in the evening is my wife is not scared away by the day's stubble, which frequently results in a certain "perk" that improves both sleep and ones clarity of mind on the next day.

    As most have suggested, it is better to shave when you have time rather than try to squeeze it in when time is limited.
    I flat out cannot rush a shave.
    Tried it in the past and paid for it dearly.
    To me this shaving ritual is about NOT RUSHING.
    It's about slowing down and making the time to enjoy it.
    For what it's worth,....we can miss a whole lot in life if we try to corral too much in at a time.
    S.L.A.M.,.......SHAVE LIKE A MAN!!!

    I would tell my boss that I had a skin condition and that it was inappropriate for him to ask about it.
