shampoo, soap.  Work from the top down basically.  Then a manicure, swedish massage form one of the NE patriots cheerleaders who was too good looking to qualify for the squad.  A cigar, a guinness, and a medium rare steak.  A nice fart.

What was the question again?




Love, James

Shampoo first.  I use one of those shampoo/conditioner combo thingies, and it says to leave it in your hair for a few minutes.

No soap.  That Red Zone Body Wash first, then shampoo.

One late night at a fraternity a "Man Committee" removed a whole collection of pink and baby blue fluffy soap thingies from the shower.

These were later disposed of by fire:evil:

Well, I never expected anyone to ask advice on how to clean themselves on this board... Tongue

Shampoo
Brush teeth
Shave
Soap

Edit to add:
Unless I'm on my days off and going into the banyo (steambath) instead, then it's:
Get a roaring fire going in the barrel stove until the sides turn red.
Wait for tub of water on top of stove to get hot.
Fill water barrels with fresh cold water.
Place beer in water barrels to keep cold.
Wait for banyo temperature to reach 180 or better.
Sit in banyo BSing and drinking beer with friends and co workers splashing stove and rocks with water from time to time.
Then it's shampoo, shave and soap. Cheesy

My hair is to short to bother with shampoo.  It's also kinda sparse.

My Daily Ablutions
1. Wash head, face, & neck with bar soap & rinse off
2. Lather up shavable parts of face with either straight bar soap or round soap & shaving brush
3. Lather up rest of body with bar soap
4. Shave off whiskers with disposable Gillette razor
5. Rinse off entire body
6. Towel off

If I really want a good scrubbing, I use a rough wash cloth when lathering up.

The bar soap I use depends on the time of year and frequency of showers.  In the winter, I will use unscented Oil of Olay bar soap to keep from drying out and will use the same if I am showering 2+ times a day.  In warmer months, I will use the cheapest non-moisturizing bar soap I can get at Costco.

I find a mirror superfluous for shaving.

Wow, the post that I'll respond to...

Wash body, shave head, shave face, rinse off, towel off.

Use liquid soap to wash, conditioner to shave head and face, and water to rinse.

Wake up, smoke, pour a glass of orange juice, shave, shower (Irish Spring, then Head and Shoulders; if my hair is really nasty it goes shampoo, conditioner (left in), shower, wash out conditioner), brush teeth.

Surprising amount of loofah users here Smiley

Also, I never knew that one was supposed to leave conditioner in for a few minutes until my girlfriend taught me--one of the great many new things I have since been trained to do.

One of those industrial floors scrubbing brushes with lava hand soap.

Then I use the commercial grade anti-bacterial handsoap to wash hair and beard.

The water is so hard here it takes something extra to feel clean.

I can't believe I'm participating in this post...T-Gel shampoo, then wash with Lever 2000.  And, I don't forget the number one rule of showering: wash face first, butt last. Wink

Baby wipes.

Lots of 'em.

(Friggin' sand gets everywhere!)

Wonder how fast I can empty the water heater once I get back home?
Title: How do you shower
Post by: Michigander on March 25, 2005, 05:45:50 PM
Turn on hot water faucet.

Stick fingers under faucet until water is hot.

Turn on cold water faucet.

Stick fingers under faucet and adjust cold water until warm.

Flip lever which redirects water from faucet to shower, quickly jump back to get out of the way of the water coming out of the shower because it is very cold. I usually make it, but not always.

Then I turn around, back into the water flow and tilt my head back until my hair is wet.

Then I turn around and rinse my face.

Then I wash my hair with T-Gel (dandruff) and rinse thouroughly.

Then I was my face with Coast soap and rinse.

Then I was the rest of my body, from the top down with a body wash (I ferget the brand, some kind of organic herbal stuff) and rinse.

Then I turn off the water and flip the lever that diverts the water from the shower to the faucet.

Then I open the curtain, grab a towel and proceed to dry myself from the top down starting with my hair.

That's about it.

I'm too bleary-eyed in the morning to do anything in an organized fashion.
Shampoo, soaping down, and shaving happen in random order every shower.
Hell, I'm lucky when I don't drown in the darn thing some mornings.

Some mornings when I'm really cranky, I just pound the whiskers back in and bite them off on the inside.

Me, I just grab whatever is closest, shampoo or soap and go from there. So I have no hard set of rules

Schnieke's, I don't know what scares me more. That everybody actually knows the procedure to how they bathe. Or that so many people have participated in this thread...


---------

P.S. One big pet peeve I have is showering before jumping in a hottub, can't go in without rinsing off first. Oh man, I can't believe I am telling people this on a public board. Excuse me while I go rinse off now....good grief what's next boxers or briefs? Cheesy

Since taking a shower is totally untactical (naked, no guns), I don't see how anyone with any sense does this.

Unless you get someone to hunker down outside the bathroom to provide security. . .

When I shower I have put a pistol inside of a drawer under the sink. Even though the drawer is not air tight I believe the humidy does not rise enough inside the drawer during the shower to effect anything. Then again, humidity does not really worry me too much considering how well I take care of my pistol.

I do lots of rinsing, then shampoo, then more rinsing. I dry off inside the shower so I do not get cold, or get water on the floor.

el-cheapo dial knockoff antibacterial soap that I can't even remember the name of first (bar lasts forever! I was surprised...) followed by el-cheapo suave shampoo in some "masculine" scent that's only good for as long as the bottle's open.

Oh, and I don't jump out of the way of the cold blast when i first turn the shower on, I just hold my hand over the nozzle. No chance of being too slow Smiley

Swmbo was looking at this thread and shaking her head.  She says this is only the 2nd time she has sat down and looked over APS, and now she is absolutely convinced this is a beauty parlor for male gun nuts.  She says it's embarrasing to see men carry on in this fashion.  (Barbara excepted, she says, and tee hee'd the leg shaving part and said we deserved to be humiliated in this fashion by the nice lady)  
Er, ahh, I think I'l go change the oil on the truck or maybe get out some wrenches and a hammer or sumpin' and play with them.  Maybe shoot my .454 at some mushrats.
