• How long does it take to shave yer noggin? by phigg on 10 Jul, 2010 12:00
• Since I'm going sly in a few days, I was just wondering..  on average, how long does it take each morning?
  Obviously, I'm going to go verrrrry slow and careful with my first time (I have a headblade and headslick already), but once I get experienced, what am I looking at, timewise?  5 minutes?  or 10?

• all in all, it adds 15 minutes to my daily routine. the actual shaving takes less than 5 minutes.

• Shaving head and face in one go at the sink takes me 15 minutes.
  
  Edit:
  Today I remembered to look at the clock - it takes a good 10 minutes now.

• i take 3 to 5 minutes to shave against the grain. Twice that if lather up again and go over it twice

• Takes me about 3 minutes in the shower  after many many  months of practice  - -almost a year for me now being SLY BALD

• On the rare occasions that I don't scrape the grape, I save 5 minutes now.  Frankly, trimming the face fuzz is more complicated.  Compared to pre--sly, it's about the same but mind you I had a really elaborate blow dry and spray job to get the combover ( ) in place--Damn I get mad at myself when I think of what I did !---so probably less time than pre-sly.

• Once out of the shower (that time does not count), it takes five or six minutes from lather-up to using the washcloth to get the last of the soap off the edges of the dome.  And this, mind you, with a single-blade, antique razor.

• My face and dome takes less than 10 minutes.

• To shave my dome takes about 5 minutes once I get out of the shower. Overall, the shaving goes pretty quickly; it's going over the head and feeling for any remaining little rough patches that takes a little extra time.
  
  If you shave against the grain, once you figure out which direction your hair grows in, shaving goes really quick. And every part of the head, the hair grows differently.

  +1  It's all about the prep work.

• Yes, I would say less than 10 minutes  in the shower.  Don't need a mirror, which is, IMO, a waste of time, my hand tells me where the Headblade and Fusion, or Mach 3 needs to go.   A mirror only makes you second guess what you know needs to be done anyway.   Usually, that 10 minutes is from the time I step into a properly adjusted shower, till the time I exit that shower.    I don't go there to have a party, just do what needs to be done.

  I guess I should remove the keg and tap from my tub ..   
  
  That's kinda what I figured, time-wise.   I normally use an electric razor on my face, but I might just go "classic" after this.

• Normally less than 5 minutes from applying the HeadSlick to the cold water rinse!

• Still takes me about 30-45 minutes... but again, that's two passes of the scalp (with the grain, then against), plus the face shave...
