After a 3 day growth - 15 minutes to get the awesome BBS shave. Tu - Fri, 8 minutes as its nothing more than XTG and ATG to maintain the good look.
When I first started out, it took 45 minutes and once I became proficient, then the time dropped to the above.

About (with a little practice) the same time it takes to shave with a DE, and add in however long it takes you to do around 60 laps on a strop. Many like to make it take longer because using a straight is so much more enjoyable.

I've been at it 7 months and it takes me about 25min for a full 3 pass shave. I get such a close shave that I only need to shave about 3x per week, and I also shave at night before bed so I'm not rushed-- very relaxing.

I timed myself last night. It took 27 minutes to do three passes. This included building lather, shaving, cleaning up everything, and stropping blade after. I felt like I was going about it fairly leisurely, definitely not hurried.

WTG + XTG + ATG + WP = BBS < 10 ~ 15 min.

I think I'm a slow stropper to boot - since I don't own stones yet (just my strop and Chromium Oxide balsa strop that I made a few weeks ago - which by the way was really fast/easy/cheap/effective) I go carefully enough so I won't botch the blade. I also enjoy taking time...in the cold weather, hanging out in a warm bathroom with hot kettle water in the scuttle is heaven!
I went back and looked at videos of myself shaving (which I did a few weeks before I found SRP). While I did two passes in about 8 minutes, they were not very effective and my technique was a disaster. I'm much better, but also much slower now LOL (I should really take those down)!
Very best for your day!

If I'm really screaming, in a hurry, got to get to work, kind of a rush, well...35 minutes. On weekends I'll lally gag up to an hour to get a really tight shave. I do a 3-pass every time.
Stop and smell the roses,

About a forty minutes, this time frame includes everything that I need to do pre and post shave.

5 - 10 minutes
When I first started, it took me close to an hour for the whole ritual because everything was new to me from beard prep, to stropping, to shaving, and post-shaveLast edited by hoglahoo; 10-19-2009 at 07:20 PM.
