Hi guys,
I wanted to get an overview of the average shaving time for head shavers.
And I'm sure you'd be interested to know what the average time is, too.
Having said this, please note that this applies to head shaving only.
So please don't put in the time of your shaving sessions if you also shave your face during
that session. We want just the time it takes you to shave your head.
Count from the moment you've applied the shaving cream/gel and you're just about to
put the razor to use, till the moment you made your last stroke.
So please cast your ballot.
Thank you!

I voted 10 to 15 min, but I not really sure. I been meaning to time myself, but with shaving in the shower it's hard to do so. I know the time of my whole shower but not just the head shaving for sure
-
I take about a half hour. When I was younger I was always rushing out on a date with a lay-day. I cut myself too often and now have some good scars.
I'd rather go slower to be slicker!

15 to 20, i prefer to shave over a few times so i can be smoother
-
It takes me about 5 minutes. But I use a HeadBlade and that cuts my time as compared to a regular razor. But around my ears, I do use a regular razor.
-
It's been taking me 10-15 minutes. Still being careful as I learn to use the HeadBlade.

Takes me about 7 minutes 8)

6 minutes and 37 seconds. nah just kidding. i think the time varies. never really thought about it. i usually just shave until the noggin is slick as greased owl poop. ;D

If I'm going on a date, I'll usually take my time and make sure it's extra smooth for wandering fingers to enjoy :P
-
Since I am still a rookie at this, it is still taking me 10 minutes or so with a blade. But, I got my HB Sport today so now I can start comparing the times.

It all depends on what I am up to that day tell you the truth... If I am going out to a Bar, knowing that that is a situation where there is possibly going to be fingers charting unknown territory on my scalp, It will take me around 20. Got to make sure that all the way around the head is SMOOTH 8), now if it is just a regular day, takes me about 15 minutes. If I am in a hurry, and this is with the HeadBlade, I have been able to cut it down to 10, but with some glaring inaccuracy, and A TON of rough spots [I HATE ROUGH SPOTS (I am a perfectionist that gets slightly Obsessive p0@^)]
To tell you the truth, its a little of a enjoyable routine now, so I enjoy when I get to take a little more time on my appearance, and get that PERFECT, all around [including around the ears] smooth shave, just a little music, your razor, and some time to yourself )& Good Times, Great Oldies

Funny, I am slowly finding that I am taking as much time in the shower as my wife does.
-
I take a little longer because I shave about every 4 days, long enough for it to grow out a little. My girl and I like the stubbly look.

Hey Everybody...
On average, I think it takes me about 45 minutes or more... that's largely due to my basic attitude about not leaving any hair behind.
Peace...

Takes me about 15 minutes to shave with my Headblade using KOS oil and them going over the top with Williams shaving soap and a brush. I do one pass with the grain, one against and then touch up around the ears with my Atra.

Its all good... ;D
