Thread: how long does it take you to shave?

I was wondering how long it is taking members to shave, just from razor on face to rinse off excess lather at end of shaving, not the Indeterminate amount of time spent pre shave prepping, or post shave posting, just the actual hair removal bit.
Knowing how long you've been shaving for might be useful too.

5 to 10 for a 1 to 1 1/2 pass off to work shave.
20 for a "she is going to love this"
30 for a " this face is going where no man has gone before" ( I mean like all over her neck) :<0)

I would be a bloodied mess or still very hairy after 10 mins, think I only allowed one option, you'll have to pick what you do the most.

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.)
