Thread: How long do you take to shave...

I like to shave in the mornings before work.

With a shower and clean up close to 1/2 hour.

I didn't include the shower time in my shave. With that (also in the AM) it's about 1/2 hour.

I hovered at just under a half an hour for a long time, but something happened about eight or nine months ago, coincidentally right when Little Man was born and my shaves now take about 10-15 minutes including clean up. That's fresh out of the shower. If I've got to do the hot towel beard prep you could add another 3-5 minutes to that.

I once got a shower and straight shave in and got dressed in 10 minutes when I was late for work. That was early days, after straight shaving for a few months and I got off lucky.

ok this is quite embarrassing.. without the shower it takes like +1 hour
don't get me started on how long the shower takes
But it took me almost an hour when I use to shave with an ordinary cartridge razor too..I guess I'm just like that: No worries! No Hurries!

I am still quite new at this, but for me from the time I pick up the razor till the time I put it away is between17-20 minutes. That includes lather up, hot rinse and cold rinse and aftershave. I shave with and against the grain for my whole face. I have some crazy direction of growth so I have to be a contortionist to get all the spots smooth.

10 minutes with the brush if not rushed (have an intimate relationship with the brush) , 5 minutes to shave, 10 if its a new razor (wanna feel it slowly).

I'm a newbie. I give myself an hour to shower and shave with a str8. The shower is about 15 min and the shave about 30 min. I haven't timed my cleanup. Sweney Todd was fast and it didn't do him any good.

Well now i don't feel so bad about taking 30-40 min, although the wife always asks me why it takes so long!

Well then at least I spread joy over you other shavers

I usually take about 40 min including the shave. My room-mate must love me, using as long time in there as a girl.

But I am relatively new to this, just have about 10 shaves under my belt
