You should shower twice a day at least. Once in the morning to wash of the stink of the night, and before bed to wash off the stink of the day.
It’s really not a binary choice.
Im a weekly showerer

That’s really bad for your skin and the recommendation I remember hearing is every 2nd day to preserve your skins horny layer

You know, that might be fair. It’s never been a problem for me, but I do know my wife’s skin doesn’t when she showers too much. (Something she brought up, when I was making jokes about how Lemmings hate showers due to the downvotes).
Guess I just repeated what worked for me as a fact without really thinking it through, my bad lol. I appreciate you sourcing your argument, though. +1.

Morning and night here. As a white man you all need more black friends.
You don’t shower enough. You don’t use face clothes or younger the one on your face and ass. You don’t moisturize.
Shit is disgusting yo!

Twice a day is absurd

You’re right, I do 3 in the summer. Morning, (after)noon and evening.

As a psychiatric nurse can confirm; black people are objectively cleaner. Doubly so if they’re Muslim but even Christian / nonaffiliated blacks as well. I was raised redneck in a very quietly / mildly racist environment so there was this underlying mindset that black = poor = less hygiene but when I started working healthcare my perspective really changed.
Hygiene in general is very culturally dependent and honestly once a day is fairly common among whites, maaaybe every other day without causing any problems as long as they’re cleaning their hands, butts and teeth properly (if it’s less than that they’re almost certainly struggling with some kind of psychological / psychiatric problem). Black patients on average shower 2x daily (although they wash their hair much less, like weekly or every 2 weeks). They HAVE to use lotion though for their skin to tolerate that, white people usually just leave their existing skin barrier intact. Muslim patients often need accommodations (time excused from group therapy) to accommodate their prayer and hygiene schedule.

or you use the same one on your face and ass
if that’s a concern, you’re doing a bad job of washing your ass

Wash my hands and face and brush hair before going to bed.

Right? People are so fucking weird, like they never heard about washing oneself in the sink…?

When I wfh I do the same. When I am out and about I have to shower in the evening. Worse for people who actually do physical labor and/or come home dirty. The sink won‘t be enough

A bunch of the morning people are acting like the inverse isn’t possible either.

I scrub with soap at night shower. Morning shower is just letting hot water wake me up and to wash my face, cause I’ve always been a messy face washer at the sink.

Just skip a step and take a shit in your bed.

50 years of my body being trained to wake up with a shower means never taking one before bed if I actually want to fall asleep. Rare exceptions are made as needed. Sheets get washed and changed several times a week.

Nothing better than showering after coming home from a shift. When the hot water hits your back. pacha-meme.gif

Working at a big box retailer for the day fixing a printer and the dude in the department here smells like he showers once a week.
