I have to sit on the side of the tub to shave my legs or I destroy my legs, but I had to work out a better way to rinse the razor than leaving the faucet running, which was a tremendous waste. I ended up filling a cup with water to dip the razor. It’s okay, I guess. It’s better than putting some water in the tub because I would have to rinse off the resulting ring around the tub.

This has nothing to do with water, but has anybody heard the story about the guy who invented disposable razors? He was an advertizing executive and made the pitch to the razor company to make disposables the standard because they created endless marketing opportunities. Ugh.

I find showering with a ‘friend’ takes longer ! But showering every other day is totally doable most of the time (especially since I work at home). It’s better for my eczema-prone skin, too. WIth 4 eczema-prone kids, this is a standard house rule for all but my husband who is greasy and dirty on a regular basis as a heavy equipment operator.

I recently read a tip from a Hollywood hairstylist that said washing your hair daily is a bad idea anyway, and he recommended working a small (not graying) amount of baby powder into the scalp on ‘off’ days to keep grease and oil at bay and improve texture. This, too, has actually been working wonders for me since I have fine hair that is easily dried out (but yet somehow always greasy when not washed…go figure).

Well, I have good skin and I don’t shower daily. But I guess if you have to you have to. Also, the whole you’ll smell bad if you don’t shower every day deal – highly overrated in my opinion. I think, though, that this is going to be one of those personal opinion type questions.

not showering will clog up my pores and give me acne! which means using more environmentally unfriendly acne creams, which is not only toxic to the environment, but to your health as well. AND they bleach clothes! so that means you have to buy clothes more often!

now, if your onw of those people with rhino skin, go for it.

but please, i beg of you, shower every day. the person standing next to you will thank you!
