Maybe a bit personal but.....

Every day without fail.

What I really don't get is the guys who head home after work without taking a shower in the locker room first.

I'm 62, Lovely Wife is 55 and we both shower every day.

We both prefer to shower in the evening before tea - neither of us would want to go to bed unshowered after a days activities.

In an ideal world I would prefer to get out of bed and shower in the morning after a night's activities.


(But those days are long gone. )

At least one shower a day, in the summer may be 2 or 3. Do like a nice soak in the bath now and then, lots of bubbles, music and a book.

Gosh this is quite an illuminating thread. My belief is that older people are often not in the habit of bathing or showering, which is why they sometimes have a characteristic odour. Frequent showering is a very recent habit. In the 1970s soap manufacturers like Unilever would tell you that French people use less than half the soap that British and Germans use and only 30% of French people owned a toothbrush. Spain is nowadays a lead market for shower gels with good quality perfumes because the Spanish lifestyle and climate and increase in urban living means Spaniards are in the habit of showering twice or even thrice daily.

There used to be an old Australian joke. "How do you hide a pound note from a Pom?

Put it under his bar of soap."

Last bath, over twenty years ago.

This thread reminds me...maybe 30 years ago i worked temporarily in the fish plant at work while they were short of staff. Lorry loads of fish offal and heads would come in, get put through a huge mincing machine, formed into slabs then frozen for future petfood use. It's quite a sweet smell, not a rotten one but it used to permeate every part of you. So after your shift youd have a long hot shower at work, go home all clean.
Maybe 1 or 2 hours later youd be sitting eating tea and suddenly get a faint whiff of....fish

Well that my last shower of the year
