    The lathering takes longer than the shaving. Never ever skimp on the lathering or you will pay for it!

    Right around half an hour plus, but then I only shave when I can take the time to enjoy it and be finicky around all my little delicate places. You got to take time to stop and smell the shaving cream.

    Anywhere from 10 to 35 minutes(?). Depends on how much I want to enjoy a shave that day.

    I find it takes me about 10 minutes or thereabouts. I'm not rushing it. That's just how long it takes, but my beard isn't made of steel like some of the fellas!

    About a half hour. Morning shaver (during the week, anyway) so I set the alarm earlier.

    During the week, I take around 10 mins once the blade touches my face (two pass), add 5 mins for making lather, add a couple of mins for clean up of brush and blade. On Saturday or Sunday, depending on which day I decide to shave, I will generally take 20+ mins for the shave.

    15-20 mins for me. i always shower before hand and i give myself 35 mins for shower and shave so sometimes i go longer. i like to take my time. i am getting better and better as i go but i find the more i shave the closer i try to get so i don't really save much time yet. i'm sure i will soon enough. before i started with the straight i really wasn't a fast shaver anyways so it isn't a shock to my routine.
