Mastering the 15 minute shave

I use my 30 minute shave to get myself in the right frame of mind in the morning anything less is a good shave wasted. IMHO.
I think you just get faster the more you use the DE. I've only been doing this for 6 months and have sped up considerably. If you've been using a DE for years I'll bet you can whip out a shave in lickety-split.
Trying to get from DFS to BBS costs me a lot of time.

This.
I sometimes get angry and apply pressure. Then my face gets angry back and rips in two.
Then we're both sad
So why not save the time, and leave it at DFS?

On my cheaks I actually need to apply pressure. I could go over my cheaks a million times without getting a closer shave (or any noticable irritation), so I tried applying some pressure and got a closer shave.
On the other hand I have very insensitive skin everywhere except on my neck.
Cool! I can get done in less than that- one pass with a straight or a couple of passes with a DE. My shower time doubles as prep time saving me 5 minutes each morning.
I can reliably get a 3 pass DFS in 15 minutes. I shave after I shower, and face lather, which helps reduce the prep. time involved. For a 4 pass BBS with touch ups takes 30-40 minutes, which I have relegated to weekends and special occasions. I enjoy both methods either way, and I am very pleased that i went back to using a DE.
I have a GEM Featherweight SE on the way. Will it cut down on the shave time?
