It came pretty quick to me. For some it takes time, others not so much. I mean its not rocket science, just got to see what works for you. Just a little patience and practice. Don't get me wrong, I have had days where i wanted to throw the damn thing in the garbage out of frustration. The more you get used to it, the more it will become like any other routine. You end up learning ways to make your life easier and faster without as much of a hassle, once the novelty of having hair wears off, You want it to be easier to deal with. At least that is where I stand now.
