    My blood alcohol content was a bit high this morning to risk the assassins blade. I can't wait for tomorrow morning - roll on Monday :D

    This morning I had a DE shave in less than 1 minute. I was running late and absolutly flew around my face with and not one nick. Although there is a small patch of hair still on my chin. has to be a record :)

    1min for a shave...that can't be right or safe :eek:
    Sure it doesn't even give you time to soften the hair or make up the lather.

    Takes me approx 10-15min to save each morning, if I take my time and really drag it I can do it in 40min :pac:

    I get it under ten with two passes and chin. Not fiddling with tubes or tubs helps, once you gravitate towards a 'wedge-of-something-slumbering-at-the-bottom-of-a-mug' layout.. and if you're using a tallow based soft soap, which I am, you can generally put the mug away after a good load has got on to the brush.

    I used spray foam. Slapped it on and zinged around my face. Had no time to get the bursh/cream going! it certainly wasnt safe but im really getting the hang of the no pressure on the razor.

    It was grand but I much prefer a good 15 minute routine in the evening.

    Jeepers, even you 10-minute guys seem to be flying it. I've seen Mantic's 10 min youtube video, and that's scary fast. It takes me 4 passes to reduce, and then there's that one spot on on my kneck, which I can only get rid of with a brand new feather (and applying a bit more pressure than I care for.)

    I like to take my time, anything from 15 to 40 mins depending on which razor and soap/cream I'm using, it's a ritual and one that I really enjoy.....

    It's generally 10-15 minutes for me, but I can do a 5 minute quick shave, where I only do one or two passes. It looks reasonably well too, but obviously isn't exactly babys-bum smooth.
