A very fast SR shave is possible.
Here is one of the most amazing demonstrations of sub-5 minute SR shaving.
This guy is out of my league.

I hasten, if I may, to add that this kind of speed shaving is certainly stimulating and a lot of fun. Perhaps it is not for the less-experienced, but banging out a shave in under 3 minutes is a blast, and it does keep your attention. I've had shaves when I spent about as much time cleaning the blade as I did shaving. They were good shaves and almost exhilarating. To each his own. Newbies beware!

There was a thread about this sort of thing a year ago and my opinion stands. Go slower to get faster at shaving. Learn good technique. If not you will learn how use things like styptic, and superglue etc. I have a perm scar from SWMBO walking in on me shaving. Speed kills, chicks dig scars!
This was after superglue

I don't see time being a real issue. If straight shaving is something you enjoy doing just get up 5 or 10 minutes earlier.
Of course one could (I guess) spend an hour really taking your time but I don't see why one would take more than 15 minutes normally even taking your time (which I would suggest).
I must not be the usual case because I also enjoy DE shaving. I definitely didn't enjoy shaving before I started wet shaving however.

You are not alone. Most people here found shaving to be a PIA. It is a well earned meditative respite for me when I shave. SWMBO now understands it is a my time sort of thing. She likes to come inspect the scents of the soap and will usually watch as I shave. Inspection following with the usual approval of "baby butt". She remembers watching her grandfather shaving this way in Slovakia and I personally think it brings back fond memories for her.Originally Posted by gcbryan
