Poll: How long is your typical shave?

Your ballpark average time spent per shave, from your particular method of prep up to slapping on the Hai Karate and walking out the shave den door.

I'm 10 minutes, btw.

 

25 minutes, but that includes shaving my head too.

 

20 minutes - longer on the weekends. It drives my wife nuts - we only have one bathroom and she thinks I spend way to much time shaving.

 

20 including head shave.

 

Do what I do: yell out the bathroom, "Hey, do YOU want to do this?"

 

Well that would be scary! She has actually tried to get me to let her shave my face. She finds that to be exciting and could lead on to other things. But the only problem with that is - my wife and sharp things do not mix well. I think I would have to pass on that idea! YIKES

 

My shaves are pretty quick.

Rarely any blood, but a 2 pass DFS at most takes me 5 minutes including lathering.

When I first started, I would do 3 or more passes and it would take me 20 minutes and some. My technique improved as did my choice of products helping achieve expectations in much less time.

 

Yeah, I can barely get my wife to trim up the back of my neck using a multi-blade hard-to-cut-yourself toy (I keep it just for that purpose). She's willing but very tentative...I end up saying, "Press harder, please. Harder...HARDER...*gasp* okay, too hard..." as the mole comes off again.

 

20-25 minutes. I HATE to rush, so I don't. It's only me and my wife in the house now; the kids are gone.
I set my alarm so I'll have plenty of time before I have to step out the door for work.

 

It takes me from 20-25 minutes to complete everything. The majority of that time is spent with prep and clean up.

 

5 minutes for a two pass shave, maybe 7 or 8 minutes for a three pass shave. I want to enjoy my shaves, but at the same time want to get going. Those times are the minimum I found necessary for a close, comfortable, satisfying shave.

 

I'm the slow poke of the group. Takes me 30 mins. or more. Lately, I've been learning to face lather and it takes me longer to get the lather right. That's OK with me. Seems the older I get, the more I enjoy time to myself.

Anybody remember the song "Cool Change" by the Little River Band?

 

I put 15 just because that's a ballpark during the weekdays. Weekends where I have copious amounts of time, I don't know how long and I don't care

 

About 20 minutes for a 2 pass shave. That includes all the prep and cleanup. For a 3 pass it is about 2 min longer. When I first started it took like 10 min a pass. I have definitely gotten more comfortable and confident in my shaving.

 

Nice.

"Cool Change", takes me back to my early AF days and living in the barracks. Good tune, good band.

 

10-15 minutes or so total.

 

Luckly I'm now retired, so... With making coffee and a shower- 45mins. Retirement is good.

 

The one time I actually timed it, it was just under 13 minutes, I think, although I wouldn't bet money on it. So I put 15 minutes down. Since my showers tend to be on the long side, I'm certainly in the bathroom longer than that.

Most of the time, no idea. I don't rush, but face lathering, and using SE or injector razors, probably cut minutes off the time.

If there really is a rush, I can get a decent shave done in five minutes, and it doesn't need to be bloody. Just a matter of picking the right razor.

 

While I'm not a "man" on a mission .. it does take me about 15 minutes of shower time to complete my shave. That includes two underarms and two legs, ankle to the top of the thigh.

 

I get in and out of the bathroom in the mornings in about 20-25 mins and it rarely takes me more than 10 minutes to get the showering done. I put 15 minutes for a minute or two of crossover into showertime for face prep and then the next 12 or so spent at the sink shaving.
