    I and others here have found out, if you're short on time a SR shave isn't the way to go.
    This type of shave is a luxury and should be given the time to enjoy it
    Never hurts to keep a DE or throwaway and a can of gel handy for emergencies

    I learned my lesson. If it's morning and I'm pressed, DE it is. Maybe in 20 years I'll be proficient enough to do a "quick"shave with the straight

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

    I bet you're only holding the razor near your face for a minute of that

    Two minutes max. Stropping takes longer than the shave
