    It takes me 2 minutes to brush my teeth. Nearly 6 to floss.

    I am not ashamed that it takes me 10 minutes to scrub, 5 minutes to shampoo, 5 minutes to condition, 5 minutes to face-shave, 10 minutes to rinse, and a few more minutes for using the artificial pumice stone.

        I don’t wear my watch in the shower, but given my hair length, comparing intuitively to the length of time it takes to floss (which was timed), probably most times. Though, rarely I will do a quick shower and not shampoo (or condition) my hair.

    Win imaginary arguments. Make the world a better place. Solve the mystery of life. Achieve ascension, realize perfection demands non-existence, return to my imperfect self. Play with water. The usual.

    What, is it a fucking race?

    A couple minutes while the water heats up to undress and brush tangles outta my hair.

    A couple minutes to rub in shampoo, massage into the scalp, and rinse.

    A couple minutes to rub in conditioner, brush it through my hair, massage into the scalp, and rinse.

    A couple minutes to scrub my body with soap and rinse.

    A couple minutes to enjoy the warmth of the water and make sure everything is fully rinsed off.

    A couple minutes to rinse stray hairs and soap suds off the shower walls.

    A couple minutes to dry off, maybe 4 or 5 if I really wanna get my hair dry.

    A couple minutes re-brushing the tangles outta my hair.

    A couple minutes putting oil in my beard/hair, then coming/styling my beard/mustache.

    A couple minutes brushing my teeth.

    A couple minutes putting clothes on.

    At minimum it’s a 22-minute affair, but let’s round up to 30 because it’s the first thing in the morning and I’m not moving as fast as I could be yet. What’s the problem with any of the stuff on that list? What am I doing that’s too slow for the 10-minute showerers (whom I never question for taking 10 minute showers, btw)?

      rub

      scrub

      Exactly. Of course I can make myself wet slather some soap on my body. That’s not washing, though. Washing means to scrub until squeaky clean. I have observed people go in the shower stinky and come out only slightly stinky. Why?

      Then there’s things like remove hard skin from the feet, cut nails, shave.

      Use a fascial scrub on the face.

      After the shower applying facial cream and body lotion also takes a little time.

      Finally: collect hair from drain, dry off water that sploshed around

    I wash my hair everyday, soap from head to toes and my ass crack. I scrub my pits and balls with heavy soap.

    Takes me 20 min and I have long hair.

    this is written by a masc man. if I’m not washing my hair and just scrubbing, yeah I can get it done in 10-15 minutes. If I need to wash my hair though? easily 30 minutes. If I need to shave my legs/body? I’m probably drawing a bath and I’ll see you in an hour at least.
