I have no idea how to go faster than 20 minutes. Between washing my face, body, shaving my under arms and legs, washing my long hair.. that's just how long it takes. I do not spend any time zoning out or enjoying the shower, it's strictly chores.
My shower time varies. If I'm not too dirty, just a quick wash on all the areas that get the dirtiest/smelliest will take 5 mins. If I feel I haven't properly washed in some time, scrubbing down every inch of my skin with soap would take about 15-20 min's.
You don't need the shower running to shave.
Shampoo hair quickly, then leave conditioner in while you wash. Rinse conditioner at the end.
If you need to detangle hair use a wide comb, to to it faster. If it still takes too long, soak hair add a little conditioner then turn off the shower to detangle.
