    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.

    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.
