It takes me about 15 mins. the actual shaving pocess. But I shower, then use a hot towel, then the lather. So all together about half an hour for it all.

I lathered my face (instant wet brush to soap to face work) and stropped about 10-15 laps and did a quick one-pass shave within the span of less than 3 minutes easy (same song was on my ipod while I started and finished).
Surprisingly it was a pretty good shave for one pass and maybe 30 seconds of lather prepping my beard.
I think since I shaved so quick I never gave the lather time to reduce it's lubrication effect and that offset the lack of care in taking my time.

5-10 minutes, but sometimes I just like to have a leisurely shave.
I can shower and be out the door in 30-40 minutes. Dressed even."But you're not as confused as him are you. I mean, it's not your job to be as confused as Nigel. "

Not me. Between a shower and shave I am in the bathroom for a good 45 minutes

It depends.
If I set out to enjoy my shave, I take a shower, clip my nails, lather up, strop, shave, lather, shave, lather, shave, clean the blade, rinse face and put on aftershave.
That can take up to 40 minutes.
Otoh if my wife says 'first you need to get a shave' it goes a lot faster than that

Depends on how close I want to get. For BBS, it will take me about 30-40 minutes. For a one pass, 5-10 minutes

I'm in the 10-15 range after a shower. I strop 20 times before the shower and at least 10 more after I get out while heating up the soap and mug with hot water. Than it's lather up and scrap it off, repeat

I guess the standard is about 10 to 15 or so. That's were I'm at and probably were I'll stay. I find that it's enough time to the job done and still long enough to enjoy the ritual of it.

About 20 minutes I guess. It is getting faster which is great because it gives me more time to play with my prep these days. Virtually every shave in the last several months has been born by my W&B workhorse. 20 minutes is also about what I've spent honing it since the new year.
