So, I timed myself shaving today. It took me under 50 seconds to strop, about 1 minute to create a luxurious lather and cover my face, 3 minutes for the first pass, and 1 minute for the second pass...I did push myself a little for speed I admit but no nicks and a nice shave.

"Why?" I bet you are asking. "Why in the hell would anyone bother to time their shave?" Well, I tell you why, a mutual friend of ours, nickelking, is doing a speech for a college assignment on straight shaving and asked me to be his prop. He has to give the speech within an 8 minute time period so he asked me to time my shave in segments so that he can pace his speech to my abilities...yes, I will be shaving in a college class as nickleking goes on about why his fellow college students are shaving wrong and what the proper way to shave is.


Should I invite the young ladies in the class to come feel how truly smooth a face can be after my demo?
