Hi
I posted recently on the theme of wanting to shave quickly, looking for opinions on blade choice etc. Reason for wanting to shave quickly is to look presentable at work without using up too much time in the morning.
I've recently got in to a good rhythm of daily DE shaves, around DFS standard, with good levels of comfort and not many cuts at all.
My shaves before work are a bit more rushed I guess, but I'm happily still getting good results. I think I've found a razor I really like using which is helping (Merkur 25c).
Anyway, it got me thinking, how long does everyone's DE shave take? From walking in to the bathroom to walking out again.
I timed myself last night, and it took just over 13 mins, two passes. The blade was already in the razor, I didn't use any pre-shave oil (I often do), the soap I use seems to lather up quickly.
How does everyone else get on? I know it's not a race, and there are different routines - some may shower first etc, some may have huge bathrooms to walk around in etc!
Just after an idea really. I sense that 13 mins is pretty fast if the youtube shaving videos I've watched are anything to go by. Then again, I don't talk in to the mirror!
Not a race! Don't cut yourselves! ;-)
