It varies with practice, so if Bart has tried wet shaving only once or twice, that's probably what it took him. In a recent trip I forgot my electric razor and had to do wet shaves for a few weeks, which I had never done before. The first time took 10 minutes, then it gradually decreased to less than 5.

It took about 3 minutes yesterday, and I have to be careful not to ruin the outline of my goatee so I guess it'd take even less if I didn't wear one.

My estimate was based on what I hear and read of others, not my own very limited experience.
