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.
