    About 20 minutes but when you add in the prep and post activities, the entire process is easily twice that.

    About 15ish for a two pass shave (that's good enough for work) but longer for my Sunday night "super shave".

    Average is 10 for good shave (2.5 passes), 5 for a quick one (still 2.5 passes). About 5 years of everyday straight use.
    I watched XMan's one handed shave vid about 100 times in the beginning. then practiced with a dull razor while on the couch watching movies. Then practised shaving while not looking in the mirror. Then practised without a mirror. Then in the hills of Japan, the countryside of Europe, and various other non exotic locations, including, but not limited to toilets, kitchens...
    Just want to do a few in the outback, the jungles of South America and the open plains in the US.

    Let me guess, you can bevel set and hone a razor blindfold, using your feet. :-)

    Feet? Na, that's for amateurs. One foot's enough for me.

    Have a look at these. (Some members would probably advise not looking at these. Both well under 10 minutes, but might help you get to a happy medium.)
