    About 88 hours

    (176 shaves at an average of 30 minutes)

    Or a little more than a year.

    About a year and about 4x weekly min. (more when I have the time). Other days I use a DE.

    About 4 to 6 weeks. Lost track of time there. Started back wet-shaving in August, straight razor's been on my list of things to do for a LONG time. Actually got a BBS last week. I have good days and not so good days, but for the most part I like the SR shave ritual and results a lot.

    About a month with very good results, especially after realizing how a respectable lather is prepared. Oh and since I missed out on the "how old are you" thread..27.

    Bout a month and a half with the straight, was wet shaving since early summer and September is when I got my first DE.... Now that I am getting consistent shaves from my Straight's my poor DE just sits all lonely until I need to trim my backburns (Not quite comfortable using the SR to do the back of my neck....)
