Those of you who shower barehanded: Do you lather and then use your hand, or just shove the soap wherever it needs to go? - Divisions by zero

I use a bar of soap that is exclusive to me. I lather somewhere hairy, like my stomach, to build up some suds.Then, I soap everything with the suds and soap.

It wastes a ton of soap compared to a washcloth. And when I’m done I wash the bar off and wash my hands one last time. It’s the quickest way I have found to shower. I am usually out in about 15 minutes.

15 minutes is a pretty long shower
Seriously! A regular shower for me takes around five minutes. With a face shave, it’s still less than ten. Wtf else is there to do? Standing there staring at the wall?
Shower beer. Amazing after a hot day mowing / at the pool / exercising / etc…
“Regular” shower, boss. I’m not talking about extracurricular showers. The other commenter was amazed that anyone ever takes a less than 15 shower. Which is ridiculous that their bar for a normal shower is that long.

Some people shave other parts of their bodies, some have skincare routines, some have special hair products. If you are just washing with soap and using shampoo it is going to be quicker than someone who has different face and body washes and multiple hair products.

It’s like different people have different needs or something.

I hear you there. Personally in the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial masque which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.
