how long on average does it take you to shave with a straightrazor?
It takes me anywheres from 15 to 25 minutes

4-10, depending on how close I want my neck.

I'd say that it takes me about 15-25 minutes as well plus about 5 for clean up and stropping. I'm getting quicker with each shave but don't wanna rush it as I'm still perfecting my technique.

about 2 min, hehehe i have only been shaving my sideburns, im letting my wopping 10 facial hairs grow for a little while.

i guess i'm about the average 15 - 20 minute noob

15 minutes, two pass, with clean up included, on average. Although I take longer if time allows, like weekends, when the wife isn't in a hurry to get in to the bathroom for the face making routine she needs before going to work. Taking a total of 25 minutes is just spoiling yourself, and a good thing to do, since you can't expect anyone else to do it for you. That's my average on a weekend anyway.

Normally, 20-30 minutes to do three passes.

Sometimes, I take the luxury approach with my pre-shave prep and stretch it out to 45 minutes.

If I am in a real hurry, 10 minutes by using a straight for WTG & XTG and a DE for ATG and finish up.

30-60 minutes, two passes. Slow, purposeful stropping strokes. Long lather time and prep. Annoying chatter from wife. (Sorry honey) Very methodical shave strokes. Clean face with hot water, alum, cold water, witch hazel, splash, balm. Clean up. Drying and restropping. Few minutes of faceturbation before bed.
I can get the same shave results from a 10 minute shave, but why would I? This hobby is one of the few luxuries I take the time to enjoy. If I end this shave with a nice homebrewed soft beer with cheese and crackers...heaven.

Took me 45 at the beginning and now I'm down to 10 or so. That is two pass and cold water.

I haven't timed a straight shave for ages. Maybe 10-15 minutes? I'm not sure.
