15 minutes at the sink for head and face including preparation (fill sink with water, wash head and face with facial scrub), using HeadBlade + disposable double blade razor.

I'm a new jack but it takes me  around 15 mins in the shower , probably about 12 at the sink but it still works better for me in the shower since I don't have to wash the sink lol

Takes me around 15-20 minutes, but then of course I'm a slacker!

I saw this post before showering this morning. My shower was 10 mins long and half of that was to shave my head. So, 5 minutes for me. I seem to have cut my time in half since originally asking this question.
Life has three aspects: Paradox, Humor, and Change.

Paradox: Life is a mystery; don't waste time figuring it out.
Humor: Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure
Change: Know that nothing stays the same.

I couldn't tell ya!  I shower then shave at the sink and have never timed it!  I put something on TV for the kids if the wife is busy then turn on some music and shower then shave.  It's my time and I don't track it or rush it!  I'll try to notice a start/stop time tonight!  Y'all have me curious!

Shaved by feel in the shower today and today was the quickest so far. I happened to look at the time to see if I would have time to shave, was running late this morning, and decided to go for it. Took me 6 minutes, smooth and clean! Shower shaving seems to provide, at least for me, the quickest and smoothest shave.

I was a sink shaver using a mirror up until this week. Decided to try shave by feel and it has been getting faster and faster, and as I had mentioned in previous thread, smoother also. I'm thinking the steam from the shower helps with making the shaving easier.

I take as long as I can. I like to enjoy it. That said, I still only take about 15-20min, head & face.
If I'm hurrying (which I hate) I can probably do 10min, including alum & aftershave.

there you go, a man that values a good shave! What perfect me time than shave time, that's a good way to look at it.

I usually can fit the whole sink shaving routine into five minutes.

Normal routine: five minutes in the shower

Last couple weeks I've tried a new routine.  I shave the sides with a DE at the sink while I shave my beard.  Then I do the top and back in the shower.  I noticed I get a smoother, less irritating shave on the temples with this routine.

Start to finish tonight was 31 minutes.  That's showering, sink shaving, brushing teeth and cleaning the sink.  Baby Butt Smooth.....aaaahhhhh

Now that I shave three or four times a week (sometimes five after the SD diagnosis) I did mine in 15 minutes today.

For me it's about 45 mins, which is head shave and shower, face shave takes a little longer. I like to take my sweet ass time to get the best results. But I love doing it, so doesn't bother me.

Yes, I love shaving at night, I think it's relaxing, it usually takes me 15-25 for shaving, if I rush I usually wind up with nicks and scrapes so I take my time combined with shower and face shave I'm looking at about an hour.
