I don't know if this would work for you, but when I only have 5 minutes for a shave, I just do a quick pass with the grain of my hair. It's close enough of a shave for work, and looks fine. I've never used an electric though so I don't know what the comparison is. Anyway, I shaved quickly like that this morning because I was running late, and it only took about seven minutes. I guess the downside is that the stropping will be put off for later
