how long does it take you to shave?

From prep to finish about 15 min. That's a two-pass shave, so WTG and XTG.

I'm looking at about 10 minutes of actual shave time, WTG and ATG. 30 min for prep + shave. 50+ min for prep + shave when I take my sweet time, turn on some tunes, and pamper myself on Saturday mornings.

I fully intend to educate my three sons as much as they desire with regard to shaving. My father was a great man, but taught me almost nothing about shaving. I owe this forum for what I learned. No offense, but I want my boys to learn from me;)

Father and son time - YouTube

This is very typical for shave time. When I shave my whole face, it takes a little longer, but not much. The results of this shave were pretty good (DFS but not BBS everywhere).

Thanks unit, I will have a squiz later, my father wasn't around, so he taught me nothing at all, the internet has been a useful surrogate with regards to learning to shave, I think I have previously described this site a collection of kindly uncles before. However first hand teaching will always be better.

Well I guess that would put you in the next category down fir hair removal only then. :-)

For me a two pass WTG / ATG is about five minutes of shave time. With lather making and cleanup the whole affair rarely takes more than 10 minutes.

7 min 45 sec according to my iPhone. I have a video to prove it. That is one pass with some cleanup around my chin.

10 min prep..hot towels only, no pre-shave; 5 min lathering and strop, 15 min for shave...WTG, XTG X 2; 5 min for clean-up...post shave, alum, balm, razor cleaning.

So, :35 minutes because I'm not adept enough yet at str8's for a faster time.

If I'm ever in a hurry, I shave with the DE, not even tempted to use the str8.

I remember someone suggesting that on here a while back and Willie turning up and being a little annoyed at it:). I think he's Swiss.

Not really sure what being swiss has to do with it, though I have a swiss colleague next to me if you want me to ask his opinion, you'll just need to expand a bit. :-)

Sorry, that was to an earlier post.
