While I prefer to take my time with an evening shave, I also like to be able to shave reasonably swiftly when its a morning shave, otherwise I have to get up too early!

Today I took 10 minutes over a 2 and a bit pass shave, the result was a SAS but not close. However, it was reassuring that I was able to get a fair result in just a touch more time than a DE takes me and no irritation, nicks or cuts.

I've been straight shaving couple of times a week for about 5 months and work-day shaving, with a close comfortable finish, is the next goal.

Of course, I don't expect to be as quick as that German Youtube guy without a great deal of practice but when you are watching the clock how long does a reasonable shave take you?
