You are running late and in a hurry.

An R41 2011 for sure.
Under three minutes for a BBS, faster for DFS, and skin totally calm.
A two pass shave with 15C. It probably is even impossible to nick yourself with a Merkur OC, regardless of hurry. It might be too mild for most, but the result is after all very decent.
While I had R41, a one pass shave was all I needed to look decent. That took about the same time as two passes with 15C.

I'll take the Joris, two passes and done. Even one pass will remove over 95% of the hair, enough for a decent look.
Rush a shave? Never! One can find another job. But that particular shave is gone forever.

Grab the Superspeed with an IP Red and Coate's shaving cream sans the brush. Do a one pass in about 45 seconds and then WALK. 
I'm the same. I'll take a day off if I oversleep.
I would use my red tip as it would give the closes shave and nicks the least.
Either my R41, it's one less pass or my Cobra. The Cobra cuts a wide path and rarely nicks me.
2 passes with my ATT r1 or Streamline
my r41, with one pass only
Oddly enough I went to YouTube and found a half dozen clips on hurry-up shaving tips. Using Superspeeds and others it's entirely possible. I am self-employed so have to look the part, but sometimes shave before turning in which does save time in the morning.
Lord L6. I can shave with my eyes closed with this thing
I do a slow 1 pass with the R41
