Alright gents, I know the subject of DE razors have been talked about in various posts.
After a year of shaving my head, I'm still curious about them, but from what I've read you really need to set time aside to use them since it is not a quick shave. I shave in the shower in the mornings and it takes me less than 10 minutes to shave my head with a Fusion ProGlide. Time is always my enemy and I tend to always be rushing in the morning, and even then it take me close to an hour to get ready.
That being said, when using a DE razor, how much allotted time do you make to shave your head?

I only use my de at the weekend, as like you, it takes me 10 mins with a cartridge, de takes me around 25, 3 passes, wtg, xtg the atg.... With a nice lather up for each pass

If you are patient and interested... DE or SE shaving will reward you with the BEST shaves compared to any over-priced cartridge. It took me about a week to get comfortable with my face shaves and about a month to get comfortable with my head shaves.
On the mornings that I work, I shave at night and on my off days I shave in the afternoon. When you decide to shave with a safety razor... be sure to make that time and do not rush. It usually takes me about 20-25 minutes to shave both face and dome.

I've been DE shaving since February. It now takes me about 20-25 minutes to shave my head. I only shave 2-3 times a week and that usually happens at night when I have the time. Mornings are too busy and rushed for me to wet shave. I have to admit, I often think about whipping out my Mach 3. It is so efficient. But I don't because I enjoy my DE shaving too much!

It take me about 20 minutes, 25-30 if I take my time and have music or talk radio playing.
I normally shave in the evening, when I have the time to properly dedicate to it, and it also acts as a wind-down for the evening for me too.
Echoing Warhawk's sentiments, you'll certainly notice the difference in closeness with a safety razor, and after a short time acquainting yourself with its technique, will be just as smooth a shave as a cartridge.
