Thread: Poll: Shave Time

I lather in the shower and I only shave with one quick pass most days.

4 to 6 minutes daily

From the time I step into the bathroom to the time I was out is usually about a half hour.

I don't mind that at all, I very much enjoy it actually.

If I need to shave quickly then a one pass effort can be done well under 10 mins.

Thanks for the responses guys, keep them coming if you can. Newbies and experienced alike! I'm assembling data for a little project I think some of you might appreciate. Mum's the word for now though.

In that case you may want to search out the previous polls on this same topic for more data

Dohh the only 80+ yet.. That's with prep. (shower excluded) and 3 pass shave to get that BHS (baby hiney smooth) skin. But the thing is I took almost an hour to shave with a mach 3 so considering that it ain't too bad.

I didn't mean for this to be any kind of contest. Purely statistical. I honor you and the time you allow to take care of yourself, enjoying the art of straight/wet shaving.

Counting face prep and stropping, about 25 mins wtg, xtg and atg. If I do one good wtg pass, probably 15mins

I know I'm a bit late on this poll, but I have a question for all those that picked 15 minutes or under.

For those that say they are stropped, prepped and shaved in that period of time (and I'm not accusing anyone of being dishonest) are you going for the basic WTG and touch-up, or is it the full meal deal 3-4 pass BBS shave?

BTW - IF I did a once over, probably around 15 minutes for me. Of course I never do, so including additional passes and touch-ups I'm most likely in the 30+ min category. I like to take my time and enjoy.

10-20 minutes here. I always perform 2 wtg passes.

im still new at it and therefore a bit slower but 25 min seems about right including a hot towel and pre stropping and heating up my brush.
