    Default How long do you take to shave...

    Just throwing the question out there...

    Me probably about 20-25 minutes with prep and clean up.

    Twenty to thirty depending on the day. I like to take my time and enjoy it.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I think this has come up before. With a poll even! No matter... I'll answer anyway: I'm a slow shaver. I like to take my time with things. I usualy take 40 minutes with a shower and clean-up included. The shave itself may take 20, 25 or even 30 minutes. It depends on the sharpness of the blade also. I find a sharper blade to be a faster tool. If I haven't the time to pamper myself I'll be quicker: I did a demo shave for a friend and it took me 15 minutes with my usual routine. However, if I have to rush in the morning... I prefer not shaving at all. Last time I rushed I nicked myself 3 times on the neck.

    I almost never shave in the morning...I wonder if that would make a difference in the results...

    I'd like to do it but the girlfriend stays in there forever so I just don't even bother trying heh.

    I'm a night (or afternoon) shaver. I'd say it probably takes me about 20 mins from the time I pull the razor out to when I put it away.

    I have heard that shaving in the morning can be easier on the face, but I'm not a morning person at all, so there's no way that would happen.

    I was curious about this so I timed it on a few occasions.
    Lathering
    Stropping
    Shaving--single pass full face with second pass along jaw line
    Razor dip in PROH/oil
    Alum, aloe, aftershave application
    7 minutes

    On days I work I shave in the morning and on days off at night. On my days off I usually go out trail riding on a bicycle and get all sweated up. If I have shaved first it burns. Also I like shaving at night. Then I have no time constraints and I can really relax and enjoy it even more.
