I shower before bedtime so I’m in the 10-15 minute camp shaving on weekdays.
Weekends may takt longer when I shave because I generally don’t have commitments.

How long does it take you to shave?

Sounds very much like my routine. I generally shave every other evening, taking my time, and enjoying every minute of it.
Shave with shower 15 to 17 minutes ballpark.
But I don’t want to extend the time, I want it over as quickly and efficiently as possible so I can get started on the day. For what it’s worth, I enjoy using good soaps and creams and a variety of mostly vintage razors, yesterday I used a 1914 Ever-Ready with vintage Williams soap, and today a 1965 Gillette Slim and Proraso red soap, if I decide to shave tomorrow I’ll probably use a cartridge razor, or I may go with another DE,SE or Schick injector, whatever strikes my fancy in the morning.
When it’s all said and done it’s still just cutting hair on my face and I want to spend as little time as needed doing it because there are many other things I’d rather be doing.

I shave before showering. It never takes more than 5-6 minutes, including a thorough rinsing and shaking/patting of the brush and razor head.
Less than 15 minutes. I can do the pre-shave while working on something else. Face lathering is faster. An efficient razor is faster, usually.
About 8-10 min for a shave right out of the shower. I only face lather, I can see wasting strokes in a bowl when I can put that work on my whiskers.
I usually shave in tub or shower, hands down those are my best shaves. Those can take up to 30 min.

15 minutes is how long it usually takes. It’s the most enjoyable 15 minutes of my day!
On workdays, M-F it takes about 15 minutes. My weekend shaves may run a little longer since I don't have anywhere to be in a hurry

For those of you who need to rush through your shave, I would rather relax shaving than watch some inane show on the idiot box.
Each to their own I guess.

My exploding razor knows secrets
●Head shave + face shave=30min (bowl lather，once every three days)
●Only face shave=10min (face lather，every day)
include rinsing shaving brush and do not include showering.
I am also used to shaving at night, so I don't have to worry about any time progress. But occasionally I shave in the morning or afternoon on weekends, anyway weekends are free.
I don't try to rush or slow down, I just let everything work naturally. Nor does it pursue an absolute BBS, and let the progress of technology determine everything.

I won't shave if I don't have time to relax and enjoy it, this is why I mostly shave in the evening.
Back, legs and pits .... in't the bath, 2 hours ... wait ... i don;t have a bath 
Shave before bed normally, 20 to 30 minutes.
Can be done in 10 or a bit less if I need to be, but that turns it back into a chore.
I much prefer to slow down and enjoy!

When I was working I was always done in well under 10 minutes. Since I retired I take around 15 minutes.
I enjoy my morning shave but it’s not the be all and end all. There’s plenty of other things that I enjoy doing throughout the day.

From pouring water in sink, lathering, 2 passes, rinse dry and aftershave, about 5 minutes.

I don't understand these 5 minute shaves. It takes me that long just to build lather.
Nah, I won't tell you.
