Thread: Poll: Shave Time

How long do you take to shave? Minus time in the shower. Pick as many as apply to you.

30 minutes and that depends on my mustache. Sometimes it just does not want to fall in line.

Generally speaking, from the time I start running hot water over the scuttle to the time I'm rinsing the leftover lather off the scuttle and brush, about 20 minutes every morning. On the weekends I'll take some extra time to go even slower and enjoy it that much more, so maybe 30 minutes. In a speedy rush I could cut it down to 10 or so, but I'd rather make the time to do it right.

I used to be a 20 to 30 and now I'm finding it to be 10 to 20. I'm not in any more of a hurry. I guess I am just more efficient through daily practice.

I voted for 10-20 and 20-30

If I include stropping which i do before i shower as my kettle heats up then its more like 30 but if not then like 15 ... shortere if i only do one pass...im still a newbie and i dont shave my chin or lip...i keep a full goatee

A bit under 10min, but I have my razors all stropped up, everything laid out, the brush soaking in hot water and it's right after I get out of the shower. The time also doesn't include the 2min of cleanup.

These days, I have it down to 18-20 minutes.

depends on how many passes I do. 1 pass with minimal lathering and a quick rinse is around 9-12 minutes.

4 full passes with relathering and restropping halfway through, plus uber-lather creation and post-shave facial pampering is more like 33-37 minutes.

I can get through a shave in 20min, but I shave at night specifically to relax & take it easy, so my time from slapping on some Pre/Post to walking out of the bathroom is usually around 35-45min.

Only 15 voters so far, but I suspect that 10-20 min's is going to be the winner. In fact, for me a quick straight shave is 10 min. A relaxed 2 or 3 passer takes about 20 min.
