how long it takes + since when
« on: October 21, 2011, 08:05:14 AM »
Hey.
I was wondering.
How long it takes you to shave your head? ~ time.
and, since when you shave your head? ~ time
It takes me ~35 mins to shave it, + 5 mins to shave my beard, and I shave my head since one week and 2 days ago.
you?:)

I use an electric and it takes about 6 minutes to get it real smooth. There is a timer on the razor so it's pretty accurate.

5 minutes for the dome. In the beginning it took me much longer because I couldn't see what I was doing all the time. As with most things I got impatient and as with most things my impatience cost me. Skin and blood were the price I paid. Better to go slow and take good care of the dome in the early stages. The speed will come in its own good time.
I've been shaving my head for over 10 years. I still try to be careful but now that I've kind of settled into a pattern it takes no time compared to when I started.

I shave daily - takes about 15 minutes for head and beard.  I'm a bit obsessive about getting every last hair for a super smooth dome.

I enjoy a hot shower so not real sure how much time the headshave adds to it.  I will guess that it has added about 5 minutes to my average day since I'm now actually doing something useful (prep/lather/shave twice most days) during the time I used to just be standing in the shower.

The first few weeks it was probably close to an extra half hour but as I settled on my daily routine that time just about disappeared.  As you get used to the process, and comfortable with using the razor on your head, you'll find that the time involvedgradually reduces.

As for howlong I've been shaving my head - since February of this year.

I like to be accurate, so I would go over again if I feel I need to do so.  15 min including a cold water rinse, towel drying and applying and  an Aloe Vera Gel

I am a daily (shower) shaver and it take me about 15-20 mins to shower and shave the face and dome. I'd like to be faster, but I just can't see to get any faster. Good things aren't meant to be rushed. :)

Also, about 20 minutes for me.   Hot shower and shave (face and head) in in the shower and end with a cold rinse.  Also, I trim my goatee about twice a week and that adds a few additional minutes.

I've been shaving the dome for about eight years.

Its been 14 years since my very first head shave, been shaving on and off until about 6 years ago when I decided to keep it shaved all the time. Normally I would visit the barber for my head shaving session, it takes about 45min to an hour. When I do the shaving myself, average time is about 20minutes.

Like you, it took me 6 1/2 minutes to shave off 2 days growth with my electric, today.
