Do you need fewer than 150 strokes? About 150? More?

[AstroManLuca]

When I use an electric razor I feel like I have to go over every square inch of my face 150+ times. With a standard razor it only takes 1, 2 at the most. So maybe 15 strokes total, plus any touchups around my goatee.

Having just counted, about 60 per pass. Which means about 60 most days, as I'm lazy.

One blade, as well, so none of that silly "x3" stuff.

i have a beard, hair is a little coarse, shave 2 - 3 times a week. id say 100 strokes or less. if i shaved daily it wouldnt be that many...but i hate shaving

 

[DCal430]

I shaved this morning, I usually shave once a week. But I used 20 strokes. If I shaved every day, it would be like 5 or 10 strokes only.

I thought that this was going to be about something else.

My facial hair is trivial. Easily less than 150. Probably not even 50, although I'll have to count. I am a bit unkempt right now...

Just counted a couple days ago and it was about 130, and I skipped my neckbeard. My ability to estimate is poor.

 

[JulesMaximus]

I counted and it was around 50 strokes.

Of course, hamburgerboy could probably do me in fewer than 50 strokes.

 

[Mr. Pedantic]

Usually 20 to 40. The newer the razor blade the fewer the strokes.

 

[LikeLinus]

Whoever is doing 150 strokes must have one messed up face by now.

I'd say in the 30 range?

~50 max (shaved in my head to get number)

I usually do it in fewer than 150 strokes. The number goes up much higher if you include the little strokes that I do. I don't do the long sweeping strokes too often because it usually cuts my face easier. Some areas require a lot of small strokes too. (Chin and upper lip area)
