who shower barehanded

There is another way...?

[โ€“] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 121 points 2 years ago (2 children)

What? What kind of heathen doesn't have a pair of heavy duty work gloves for showering? Am I the only civilized one among us?!

[โ€“] finthechat@kbin.social 64 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Personally I never get in the shower without my circular saw

I know toasters are for bathing, but hadn't heard circular saws were better for showers. TIL.

I lather up a washcloth and scrub that way.

That's the way all our great-grandparents did it. But with a bowl of warm water.

Uses just a fraction of energy & water. With the abundance of cheap energy, affordable piping and heating became affordable for the masses.

I mean, I also use an actual shower for the rinsing and hair, I just use a washcloth instead of my bare hands or a bar for soaping everything up.

[โ€“] heeplr@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

That's what I thought, hence I mentioned the bowl of water. Which was heated with wood or coal which had to be carried manually... in buckets... Imagine that :-)

[โ€“] zappy@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

I use soap bar bags... I can't figure out if that qualifies as barehanded or not

I wash myself with a rag on a stick.

You can also get shower brushes, mostly for dislodging dead skin cells...
