    About 20 minutes here.
    I'd prefer 25 next time. Beats the heck out of the quick-pass speed shave I've had to do a few times this week.

    Most days, 15 minutes, including prep and cleanup. However, a couple of days a week, when I have an extra few minutes to get ready, I go a bit extra on the prep (like whipping up warm lather in my "trailer park" warming scuttle), which stretches the entire process out to about 20 minutes at most. All in all, with the shower, I'm getting dressed after about 20-25 minutes in the bathroom.

    15-20 minutes without the prep. Add prep, add another 10-15 minutes.

    When I'm shaving with the straight, it's to get than insane closeness they're known for. My brain can't seem to convince my hand that a "passable" shave is something I can leave the bathroom with in the morning. If I took that approach, yeah, I'd be done in five or ten minutes. But I generally drag it out, so I'm taking twenty or twenty-five minutes to get an excellent shave when I do it.

    Average is 10-15 minutes with 2 passes today in 12 minutes and change. I never figured that the third pass will improve things enough to risk the total face fillet. As things stand with 2 passes the parts are smooth enough and blood loss is minimal.

    I typically do a BBS shave 6 days a week...12 minutes from steping out of the shower to out of the bathroom (shave, teeth, the works). On those rare occasions when I'm truely rushed, I can do an acceptable one-pass and be out of the bathroom in about 6 minutes, but would not recommend this for the neophyte or the faint of heart as without intense concentration it is possible to leave spare body parts in the sink .

    Just another data point,
    Ed

    Ed,

    If they indeed are spare parts, you have nothing to worry about. I checked recently and feel that none of mine are spares yet, thus I try to take it a bit slower around the curves and under the overhangs.

    Bruce,
    As they used to say on the Burger King commercial, "parts is parts". If I slice it off and it falls into the sink, it's extraneous. For those long on the boards, Josh has tried to sever his ear, Bill almost took off his hand, and Rich keeps implying that his manhood is in danger... Me, the worst I've done is to excise a mole in a moment of inattention. It's all good, the scar is easier to shave over

    Cheers,
    Ed

    I will lather up before applying the hot towel and steam my face with a hot towel for at least 2 minutes (sometimes 4). I than reapply lather and shave. I usually take about 20 - 30 minutes on 2 passes. I stopped trying to speed up my time because this is one of the more enjoyable moments in the days schedule and I find it very therapeutic. This is kind of MY TIME. If I have a busy schedule the next day, I'll just shave the night before really well.
