I've recently had a few days I needed a faster shave, but instead of the DE I did it with the straight. Hot water with the brush, then lather. One pass and a second touch up for the neck area. Cold water and Witch Hazel follow.
Arise, awake, and learn by approaching the exalted ones,
for that path is sharp as a razor’s edge, impassable,
and hard to go by, say the wise. Katha Upanishad – 1.3.14

Some mornings I'm in a hurry, so I keep it basic and still enjoy it. Load brush (no pre-soaking anything), wet face, face lather (add water to brush a few times for lather explosion), one pass multi-directional shave with some touch up on my chin, wipe face with a towel, throw on some aftershave. That's it. I don't time myself, but I'm done pretty quick.

My routine takes about 25 minutes. I just set my alarm clock quite early and when I wake, I decide either to get up and shave or stay in bed for another 25 minutes. I'll never cut on shaving

I think speed comes with practice. I'm almost 2 months in with using straight razor. Shaves the first couple of weeks were half hour or more events. Now I can shower shave dress and be out the door in 30 minutes.
