My Italian genes sort of rule the landscape so I've decided to put little to no effort in controlling it, I just comb my hair/beard whenever it looks ruffled beyond its usual unruly setting, and I'm trying to grow the beard out to a ridiculous length, but its only at an inch long so far and hasn't filled the ear-to-ear angle i'm after.
Also, I've got a line of hair growing from my beard to my eyebrow, still too faint to really see, but I'm totally going to let it grown in fully before dismissing it as too weird.

My hair is done in a jiffy. Throw some gel in it and it's like instantly fine.
Put on a bit of cologne and good to go!
Oh yeah, there's the shaving part. I like to keep it nice and shaven, so that's also a few minutes.
But doesn't take long at all. I'd give it 5 minutes total.
And I'm not counting taking a shower or getting dressed in those.

Doesn't take me long, though it depends. For the most part, I gel my hair, if it isn't uber short, black nail polish & deodorant.
About 5-10 minutes to do my hair, more or less. Depends how I want it that day. I'd say that's a pretty reasonable time for getting ready.
Including shower and shaving, somewhere between 10 and 15 minutes. I suspect it'd take longer if I could actually do anything with my hair, but it seems to dislike me for some reason.
Probably takes longer if I'm actually going out somewhere though. I have an odd habit of trying on various different shirts to see which I feel like wearing.

For work all I do is roll out of bed, put on my work gear, spray on some deodorant and off I go, no need to worry about hair because I wear a hairnet anyway, and I don't really need to shower because I do so the night before and I work in a factory and everyone smells like Propyl Acetate after about 30 mins anyway so who cares haha.
For school/public places though It's about 20 mins, shower, hair (sorta like my avatars hair), shave and then my clothes, jeans and a jacket (usually).

I cut my hair short so that it'd be easier to manage, but that said, I now have to wash it every day, then dry and comb it (and gel it if I feel like it). Then comes clothes and a bit of foundation and mascara.
I'm fairly low maintenance for a girl, and it still takes me half an hour to an hour.
If it's winter and I feel like a long shower however, good luck getting me out.

Well, I usually shave in the shower, and showering usually takes 10-15 minutes. Throwing some clothes on, sorting my hair out and putting on deodorant probably get around 5 minutes collectively.
The big problem is getting together everything I need, like my wallet, headphones, phone, books..That has led to many running-late scenarios.

Shave everyone once in a while, fix my hair up if I somehow let it get long enough to where that's required, and done. Not including basic hygiene like showers/brushing teeth of course. So less than a minute normally.
Depends on the day, and what I'm doing. As a guy, I don't tend to do much grooming, as I can't be bothered too much. I make sure I'm clean and make sure I look nice, usually with the clothes I wear more than anything, and that's it. I only make a massive effort on special occasions or if I'm specifically going out to impress someone, since if I do happen to meet a girl and somehow (unlikely) ask her out, then if things go well she'll see me more often when I'm normal than she will when I'm all groomed and making a massive effort, right?
Anyway, my routine is as follows. I wash and brush my teeth every day. That takes about ten minutes. I shower every other day in winter, every day in summer or when hot and sweaty, which is another fifteen minutes. I only shave every few weeks, as I like having a short beard or stubble (I don't like it being too long, but I hate being clean shaven as my face looks weird without at least stubble - with stubble I look more like an indie rock star or something...). Since I do it so rarely, it takes a long time to actually shave (mainly under the chin), so another half an hour or so for that.
So yeah, minimum time for my grooming is ten minutes a day, maximum is around an hour...

I thought this was thread would be about touching people up. You know... in that way.
But given the real subject matter... less than a minute. I don't do anything to my hair or anything whatsoever really. I just roll out of bed and however my hair has arranged itself during the night is how I keep it throughout the day. Apparently the cruffy look works for me.
P.S: I'm assuming this time doesn't include basic stuff like showers. That's just a given that I spent about 10-15 minutes in the shower but I don't count that as 'touching myself up', I just count it as 'making sure I'm not disgusting' which is a different thing.
EDIT: I do sometimes, when the mood strikes me, take a couple of minutes to put on some eyeliner [footnote]I'm a guy, by the way so I guess you could call it "guyliner" but I fucking hate that term[/footnote] but that's not an everyday occurrence, that's only when I decide to put a little bit of extra effort in.

This is about it for me too. I shave sort of haphazardly early in the week and do the careful shave Thursday night so I look presentable throughout the week. If I've recently had a haircut I sometimes take a minute to spike the front of my hair but mousse works quickly and holds all day so it's not really that much effort.hazabaza1 said:
