Good question.
No correct answer i'm afraid, they all differ.
One of mine takes about 4 days from skin dulling to shedding, but another takes about 8.

From what you say, i'd quess about another day or 2 to go 'blue-eye' (some don't), then he'll clear up and shed about 2-3 days later.
During the clear-up stage is the perfect time to put him in a nice bath with an inch or 2 of lukewarm water to soften him up to help with shedding.
