    Result: I only had 10 minutes to shave today. I got in 2 very quick passes and I was presentable. The shave wasn't BBS, not quite DFS, but it was quick, enjoyable (well...as enjoyable as anything rushed can be), and I had zero irritation. Tomorrow will be better.

    Great pics & posts everyone!

    Glenn,
    If I had to shave in less than 10 minutes, I would certainly cause my own exsanguination.

    I'm glad it didn't come to that. As a general rule, I don't rush shaves, yet I'm traveling with work this week and it was either the DE or the straight. I still feel more comfortable with the straight as I've only used the DE a handful of times.
