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.

It takes me about twenty minutes to get bbs- this isn't counting prepping, post shave, and clean up.

That depends on the Razor i use and how many time i have, if i have to be fast it could take around 5min, when i take my time it usually takes 10-15min.

Usually about 20 minutes from blade to face to final rinse of lather for a 3 pass shave. I like a slow enjoyable shave for fast there is a DE.

In edland 20 mins is fair quick, its a good job I work away from home so don't have to commit time to family while shaving. Still using the mach 3 about twice on. My week off, then fix it up when I come back to work.

You only get one choice, pick the most usual.

Than the 15min are usual :-)

The joys of being retired. There is absolutely no hurry. Shave time is my time. Just the shaving part, around 25-30 minutes. Have to have a sip of coffee now and then and adjust the volume on the stereo.

I'm only about 5 straight shaves in. First full shave took about an hour and a half. This morning's shave only took an hour

It really depends. Most of the time my brush soaks while I am showering or bathing. I like to let it soak for a couple minutes.

I made a video a while back that started with me making lather. I then applied the lather, and stropped 15 fabric and 60 on leather. By then my beard was prepped. I did my typical 2 pass shave and rinsed my face before patting it dry. The video was 10 minutes (I then edited it to shorten it).

I'd guess it takes another minute or two to dry my mug and razor and put away my strop and splash on some aftershave.

I don't race, but it doesn't take that long either.

Perhaps 10-15 minutes seems like an eternity to the guys I pass on the road using cordless electrics, but its just a nice break in my day.
