Mine's the reverse. I'm a perfectionist by nature, and believe that anything worth doing is worth doing well. Unfortunately that means I started out at about 30 minutes, but now it takes me AN HOUR each day.

Head and beard take me about 15 minutes, sometimes a little longer.  I'm becoming more fanatical about being very smooth, so I go back over with my hand to feel for stray patches.  At first it took longer and I experimented with different ways to get a close shave, now I've settled into a routine.  Not sure that I'll get any faster, though.

 Six to Eight minutes and that's if I'm mowing down every follicle plus that includes my face.

Roughly 5-7 minutes for the head, add an extra 2 for the face. It's amazing how fast you become after doing it for a while.

Tis better to have a bald head than no head at all.

Finally down to around 30 minutes for 2 passes + face shave!   8)

Mind you, I'm OCD about the smoothness and I don't rush through.

Pre Headblade head and face 30+ minutes; post Headblade head and face 15-20 minutes. I shave with the grain then against then use my hands as a guide for ANY "sandpaper".
