5 minutes is plenty of time if all you're doing is soap/shampoo/rinse...enough to feel refreshed and clean. obviously you'll need more time if you engage in extra-curricular shower activities.
I have taken 5 mintue showers...nothing wrong with them...depends on the situation and time you have to get ready.

Shower at least once a day, usually in the morning. I brush my teeth ever morning after I wake up and at night right before I go to bed. I also wash my hands multiple times per day.

You people that go days without showering are gross.

I shower once a day, usually in the morning, or if I'm lazy, then an hour before whatever happens to be my first class of the day. I don't time them, but I figure I maybe spend 10 minutes in the shower on average, counting the time from when I first step in, to when I've dried off and stepped out. I suppose I could take quicker showers, but I prefer a shower to be a more relaxing experience, so I just sort of take slow, lazy showers.
 
I shower once a day, always right before bed (around 11PM).
Maybe once a month I'll skip a day, but I'll always have a shower the day if I missed it the night before.
I brush my teeth once a day, right before bed.

Every morning which serves to wake me up and just to be clean for the day. If I am going out, I typically shower before that as well. I just brush in the mornings before I go to class/work.

Once in the morning, once before going out at night I do, and once before bed time. I brush my teeth 3-4 times a day, and I always keep mints or whatever around just in case.

I have to be 100% clean, at all time
 
Once a day, in the morning. It's part of a nice routine. I can't stand to be around myself if I don't shower, and I shudder to think what it'd be like for those around me if I didn't. T_T

Oh and only hot showers, regardless of outside temperature. Love hot water.
I change the temp in accordance with the weather, although never taking cold showers.

Every morning if I have work or school and sometimes more than once if I go for a jog or a walk. Occationally I'll skip a day if I have a long weekend and I'm going to stay at home.

How often do you guys shower and brush your teeth?? I'm living with a roommate and I'll be darn if i never see this boy take a bath...maybe once since he's been here...that's about 2 weeks!! He might take them when I'm out, but still...i try to take a bath/shower at least every other day...just wondering how the GAF handles their personal washing...

My roommate from sophomore year of college was on the swim team, so he never appeared to shower. I think he believed that the pool kept him clean. Suffice to say, he made our dorm room smell bad all the time.

Strangely enough, we're now great friends and I was a groomsman in his wedding.
 
Barring some unexpected emergency, I shower everyday. A couple years back buddy of mine bet me $100 I couldn't go without showering for one month. I won the money, but smelled like ... well crap smelt better.
 
I really can't understand how people can wake up and have a meal or drink something without first brushing my teeth. When I wake up, my mouth is just filled with phlem and saliva. It's pretty fucking gross.

I always try to take a shower every morning. If I don't, it's cuz I'm super late for work, and when I get there, I feel like total shit the rest of the day.

Yeah, seriously. If I don't shower in the morning, I feel like a train wreck through the rest of the day.

well not really...yet
Every day. Usual shower is about 25 minutes. I feel like shit unless I shower in the morning

Typically once per day, except in the summers if I play ball or exercise mid-day or something, or if I have a date in the evening-- usually I'll shower before dates even if I did so that morning.

Once a day mandatory,

2 times if I go to the gym after work.

Brush teeth every morning and night.

This is common sense people, any of you that don't shower every day is a dirty man. YUCK.

Occasionally after a big night in town I might wallow in my own filth if I have a hangover, but that evening the room gets a clean.

I shower at least once a day, twice if I can.
I brush my teeth before I go to bed and when I wake up, and occasionally after meals.
 
I'll shower anywhere from every day to every 2 days. Over the summer, though...Hah. My head cook and I were always comparing who hadn't taken a shower in the longest. We were at 4 days each at the most. It was a camp, so the showers sucked and they had to soften the water. If we ended up staying up too late, the water would already be shut off and we have too much to do in the morning to take one before work. Some days we'd end up just hosing our heads off with a high-powered sprayer in the dish sink because we felt so gross but had no time for a shower :lol

What's the point of taking a shower if you aren't going to, you know, leave the house or whatever for that day? I shower every day normally, but if it's an off day and I know I'm just gonna be playing games or whatever, who cares? it's a bitch!

Yeah i see your point...if it's a day where I'm staying home, got no where to go or know no one is coming over i won't shower just becuase...mind you I'm not currently seeing a woman, that would change if i was because nothing is sexier to a woman than a man who looks and smells clean.

Lately i've had no hot water to take showers, but that doesnt mean i dont take showers. I freeze my nads off, but this is what i get for living in a old house where the water heater has to be specialy ordered from the other side of the US.

I like to take at least a shower or two a day. I take it that if i skip a day its cause i've either stayed up all that time or i'm sick as a dog. I like my showers. Now how many times do people take baths?

Ever had orange juice with breakfast? Ever brush your teeth right before drinking orange juice? Actually, I never brush my teeth before a meal, for the simple reason that most toothpastes have this incredibly strong flavor, that overpowers the taste of what I'm trying to eat.

As for showers, whenever I'm dirty. I usually go once every day or two in the summer, and whenever I get some exercise in the winter.

I don't feel right if I don't feel clean. At least once a day for me, brush teeth twice or more depending on what I eat.

And who doesn't change their underwear?

Whoa holy crap! You people brush your teeth a lot, I feel like i've stepped into some bizarre world, does anyone else brush like once a week? I do, and there's nothing wrong with my teeth at all. Once I went several months without brushing because my toothbrush broke and I never got around to buying a new one.

I usually shower in the morning every day I go out, if i'm just going to spend the day at home I don't bother.

I change my underwear twice a day, sometimes more if they get dirty...

The thing about orange juice is true, hence why I never drink it by itself. I generally have something to eat, like toast in the morning to "wear in" my teeth. I never have OJ straight up; on an empty stomach, the acids wreck havoc.

At the VERY least, use some mouthwash, but there is no substitute for brushing your teeth.


Jesus. How often do you do the laundry?
Man and we wonder why our water supplies are low in this world!! Come on now clean is clean but some of you guys want to be BRAND NEW clean...it's impossible, but bless you for trying.
