How long does it take you to shave your head?

I was wondering how long it takes everyone to shave their heads. I am generally a sink shaver, though I have shaved whilst in the rain locker a few times. I am currently at roughly 10 mins (from lathering up to applying astringent) for my routine. Is this the average or is it longer that everyone else's routine?

I'm a shower shaver and do it last thing to give the heat time to work. Takes a bout 5 mins to shave.

That's about it, at the sink like you. I've done it in the "rain locker"--great term, I'm going to use it
--but I never get quite the smooth long lasting shave I want and the brush doesn't work as well. I also have enough lather in the brush to do a second pass to really get to the wood, smooth for at least 10 to 12 hours.
It's my "zen" time, all other considerations out of my mind except doing a great shave. Then rinsing, astringent, shave balm, & of course sunscreen, give me the chance to check my work, it's like rubbing a globe of smooth, soft surfaced marble. Then, breakfast. Nice way to start the day!

Well under 5 minutes. I shave in the shower. Head blade user.

In the shower.... 5 minutes to shave first with and then against the grain.

I'm about 6-8 minutes on the head.... 2-3 on face. Looks like some other HeadBladers have me beat on speed. I better practice my technique in case I get challenged to a timed shaveoff

Been headshaving for nearly 11 months now, and it still takes me about 40-45 minutes with the HeadBlade. Then again, I tend to be really fussy about smoothness and will revisit area at least a couple of times.
Using my Norelco electric faceshaver, it takes nearly an hour (and does a sh*tty job, with lots of rug-burns in back).
With the CleanHead, it takes no more than 30 minutes (and less with practice)

In the shower I can do it in 5mins. More often I'm at the sink though, I'd say 10mins, 20mins in total including face shaving

With a safety razor at the sink shaving against the grain takes around 10 minutes
