A single ATG pass with a Gem was my go to when I needed to worry about it. Sometimes in the shower.

Remember to forget me!
Just a regular shave for me. Whatever soap or cream happens to be in the bathroom, and my default Edwin Jagger DE3D14 razor. It's rare for a shave to take me longer than five minutes, and I can be done in under three if I need to.
Most brainless shave for me
Rockwell 6s (plate 6 and 4)
Nacet (preferably 2nd shave)
Tabac stick
Yaqi synthetic
Actually I use this setup all the time. Only variable is the soap
but easiest one is definitely Tabac

Use Cremo or similar slick no-brush product.
Use a medium aggression DE with a fresh blade, doing WTG and ATG passes.
Quickly rinse with cool water (don't forget to clean the soap from the ears!).
A splash of Mennen Skin Bracer, and I'm outta here!
This was a very interesting and educational question. Thanks for the opportunity to think, to share, and to receive.

In the shower:
grind Ivory soap into my razor stubble,
brush my teeth,
rinse off my face and resoap it,
wash the rest of myself,
rinse off my face and resoap it,
shave with a 1940's style Gillette Super Speed with a Shark Super Chrome blade.
Then get out of the shower, dry off and splash on the aftershave.

2-minute shower shave using Trader Joe’s Mango shaving cream (tube) and Dorco 5-blade cartridge. Passable and safe, but can’t compare to a 10-minute DE shave at the wash basin.
Proraso Red from a tube. Can whip it up pretty fast with any brush, most likely a Yaqi synthetic, in my little copper bowl, or if I have to, I can palm lather it pretty fast without the brush. Then just a quick one or two pass with whatever DE has a newish blade in it. I keep a small spray bottle of Pinaud Clubman in my car and at work, so if I need to rush, I can apply it either in the car or at work.

I find shaving cream from a tube with a synthetic brush to be a pretty fast way to go. A shave stick is also quite fast and trouble free.
After today's quick 24-hour beard shave with the Merkur Progress set to its mildest level and with TOBS Peppermint cream, I'm inclined to think the Progress is a good way to go about "fast, no effort."
My fastest DFS so far:
Cremo menthol
Rockwell 6S,R2
Feather blade
Australian Body care AS balm

8 minutes including cleaning the gear. Will post again once I purchase a shaving gel.
I get around 10 minutes if I apply by hand a (non-brushless) Proraso cream and even longer when using a brush. The brush loading and cleaning is the longest part IME.
I'm not surprised this thread gets far fewer responses than the SOTD, BBS or DFS threads. Those of us on time constraints are a minority in this forum, for better or worse.
There are a number of related threads though, fragmentation maybe?

Fast BBS DE
I have found that most of us on here like to take our time and enjoy shaving. I fall into this category as well. The only issue for me is my 7 month old and my 3 year old as well as a job that requires me to be in very early. This probably applies to a lot of us. I used to get up extra...

Fast DE shaving.
So for anyone who thinks DE shaving takes too long, it doesn't have to. I shave every morning and I don't always have time for a 3 pass plus cleanup shave. I've found that a two pass shave can be great. My first pass is wtg, but more xtg than anything. Second pass is across the grain while...

Noxzema, or any other face wash with Gillette Slim dialed down to 6. North-South, then South-North, don't care about hair growth. Or 1 pass with the R41.
