Two minutes max. Stropping takes longer than the shave

A single pass for me takes under 10 mins including prep and stropping, you will pick up speed as you get better

my first shave was like that, I just kept going. It wasn't the closest but I felt very accomplished afterwards!!

Be careful with stropping, it is very easy for a beginner to roll the edge while stropping

Welcome!!

my best advise would be take it slow and be careful around shave 10, that's about where over confidence kicks in
