Head and face shave, how long?

[Bondage007]

Hello,

I have been head and face shaving with a safety razor now for about 3 months now. My routine takes about 25 minutes total. Face is two passes and head is 3 with touch ups.

How long does it take you seasoned veterans? Trying to gage my progress.

Cheers

Doesn't really take me too long, maybe 10 minutes, but im naturally quite bald, and only clean up about a full beard

Takes me 30 brush the shave soap on, head blade front to back and back to front, touch up with fusion and then my face with fusion.

I've been practicing with a DE since about the first of this year, so not fully a veteran yet. BBC, only shave my head. Takes about 15 minutes in the shower to catch most of my head. Then I finish up with the HeadBlade for total smoothness all over.  The DE does get smoother 'in places' with each practice, but I don't have it down so that it smooth all over.  Back of the head takes longer to get smooth. 

Now, all this sounds like a lot of work, but I see it as a hybrid learning stage.  The headblade is only touching up, so I don't wear down the blades as fast! that's a savings. And I am getting faster and smoother with the DE. So I'm learning.

Guess I would say it this way. I use the DE for as long as I have time ... then switch to the headblade when I have to get going or the water meter runs out!

So I guess the time it takes me is about right.  I do find it very relaxing also.  I shave at 5:00am in the morning before work.
 I used to hate shaving now I enjoy it and get to relax for a few precious minutes in the early morning.

Cheers

In my case, I take 20-30 minutes on the head (depending on growth, as I don't shave everyday) and since I'm growing a fuller beard, 5-10 minutes on the outside edges.
