No matter what amount I spend, whether it be 3 min or 15 min on a shirt, it always looks like ass

So I usually spend about 3 min

I take 3 minutes and it is not too bad...

I'm usually not too fussy about the result...

8 minutes using a simplified Kabbaz method. I've found that a large ironing board and a spray bottle (or even better, mildly-damp shirts from the washing machine) can occasionally cut that down to 6 minutes.

About 5 minutes. I do back, sleeves, front than collar last.

Mostly because i'm too cheap and too picky to have the cleaners do it.
