Stropping before and drying after doesn't add any time at all?
In today's busy world, even seconds of 'faffing about' will get most folk's backs up.
you dont need to strop before shave. strop the night before or after a couple shaves.
and with drying i just do strop motion on towel.
usually shave at night but might do a couple passes in the morning if i feel stubbld
(thats a quick one with no water/cream and put some of blighties best to try to tame the burn
Boab said:How long did it take before you got a decent shave with a straight Shanky? It's not just about time spent maintaining, most people don't want to have to learn a new skill in order to do something they don't enjoy. The majority want it done as quick as possible so they can forget about it until the next time they have to do it. I would say the overwhelming reason people go back to DE shaving is because cartridge and or electric gives them problems. A lot of people obviously don't have issues with the systems or if they do they aren't bad enough to warrant looking at alternatives.
JohnnyO said:as for DE / SE shaving spending 35 minutes
shaving time not an in and out job is it.
Wow, 35 minutes ..................... Either the west of Scotland where I live is in a different time dimension or I'm the fastest moving OAP around ! Either way I'm in and out of the bathroom in around 10 minutes in the morning. (That's face lathering and shaving with an SE usually).

The real tragedy then kicks in, when most "busy" people "invest" all of those saved seconds in a night in front of the telly.....

Ah John, we may well be brothers under the skin & I can learn muchly from you ! That must be one of the very few ways I hadn't thought of to "innocently" provoke her.
Enjoy your leisurely morning rituals & I hope the back recovers soon.

What's wrong with that? Some people prefer watching TV to shaving. I know I bloody well do. Anyone who doesn't should go and take their head for a wobble.
I also prefer spending time with the kids, or reading, or on hobbies, or working.
I do only what is needed or what I want to do.
Nothing else.
