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.

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.

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

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).Bread and water can so easily become tea and toast

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.
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

how long does it take you to shave?
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. :-)I remember someone suggesting that on here a while back and Willie turning up and being a little annoyed at it
