    fmrsped: You have a good memory. No, this isn't the Danish woman I've posted about. I still see her, but VERY casually. The relationship isn't going to go anywhere, but we've still been seeing each other--just less and less. She has no problems with my hygiene, and I have no problems with hers. She smells really good.

    Rosie: This is a long-term girlfriend, whom I have known for years and have dated seriously on and off for an unhealthy amount of time. We came to a point, after not speaking for a year, where we started seeing each other again, but we are OK with each other dating others, too. She does shower a lot, but she doesn't have dry skin. She actually has really soft, perfect skin. It's just funny how adamant she is about me showering before I get into bed. If I refuse, I am not allowed into the same bed as her and I get ridiculed as if I am the biggest slob on earth. The irony is that both of her parents were born in European countries not exactly know for their hygiene.

    I normally shave in the shower, if I'm not in a hurry I might shave before then rinse off the leftover shave cream in the shower.

    I need to move to a big(ger) city. I'd like to get a little taste of some foreign blood. Ragu seems to have a monopoly on non-natives.

    She was born in the U.S. She's as American as you or I. But her dad was French and her mom was Spanish.

    I just figured, with the Danish thing, and now this, you're into foreign blood.

    That's what happens when I assume. ...

    Nah. I don't have enough going on to be that picky. If I like her, and she's not repulsed by me, I don't care where she was born.

    Ragu enjoys fantasizing about men in the shower.

    This thread lets him do it.

    It's the monthly "Ragu out of the closet, mixed with a tall tale" thread.

    Here's a summary of Ragu's alleged events:

    Mixing it up with hefty construction workers.
    Getting hit on by guys in the subway.

    Add these to his fear of the universal use of steroids, and I think we have a clear picture of what's really going on here.

    I shave in the shower. The process used to require a mirror, but my hand now does the trick (no quote function, fuckers). I can easily feel any missed spots and correct them. It just makes my neck feel a ton better.

    Also, I've just tried a new shaving gel. Barbasol makes a new gel. It's pretty good -- does the job just as well as Edge and for half the price. Seriously, it's like a dollar.

    I take an inordinately long, hot shower in the morning that includes a shave. I don't use a mirror, so the sideburns get a side trim at least once a week with the electric. I use the Neutrogena shave cream. I don't really have anything against peeing in the shower but, still, I like to empty the badder before I get in. On days when I'm home doing chores or out playing golf, I'll wait and shower in the late afternoon. I never shave on Sundays. It's my day off.

    shave before shower. tried shaving during showering but results weren't good. not enough light to hit the right spots (i have had a beard for about 9 years).

    shower in the mornings. i work out almost every morning.

    i don't know a soul who showers twice a day, but having said that, i don't think i've discussed it with anyone. i think generally you get to know people's showering habits -- roommates, girlfriends, say in a hotel room with a buddy a few days. none have ever been regular two-a-day'ers

    I takes baths instead of showers. I like to soak awhile. I use a hot, wet washcloth on my face to soften the bristles before shaving, and then I bathe.

    Sometimes I will bathe twice a day if I am stressed after work and want to relax in the tub, or during the winter when my skin is dry so I can open the pores and rub in some lotion before bed.

    I use an old-fashioned shaving mug with the soap disc and brush.

    What kind of shaving are we talking about here?

    I can delve as deep into the details as you want or as little.

    Actually it doesn't matter. Eighty percent of the time, I shave in the shower. If I don't, then before the shower.
