“But Ironhead…what’s with this thingy?”
violacrane, that is precisely to what I was referring.
I only use soap on my face. If I want to clean my butt, I just drag it on the carpet.
I find nothing buffs up the skin better than a good all-over scrub with long, luxuriant armpit hair.
I’ve never used a washcloth in the shower. I’ve always been a bit puzzled by them, frankly. What’s the point? Eliminate the middleman! Soap on the body! And, for that matter, pee in the shower!
Now I’m tuned on… 
perks up What’s Dr. Bronner’s Peppermint Soap? Where do I get it? What does it look like? Is it actually minty? I want some.
On top of the cabinet that sits just outside my shower, there lives an ever-renewing pile of white, fluffy, newly-laundered washcloths. I grab a new one every time I wash. I launder the washcloths, towels, and my panties in one load, and put bleach in with it to kill all the germs. The washcloths are the cheap 12-for-$5 Target ones. I love them because they are rough, and do a good job exfoliating.
I am white.
Behold the wonder that is Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soap in Peppermint. It’s a great pick-me-up.
I alternate between that and Origin’s Salt Suds shower gel. It’s scented with peppermint and spearmint.
"And what’s the deal with those Gauls, I ask you? Rubbing themselves with potash, lard and lye?
And don’t you hate it when you find some plebian’s pubic hair on your stirgil when you return from the tepidarium?
Thank you, I’ll be here all week. Try the roasted hummingbird’s tongues. Then throw them up and try some more."
I point the stream wherever I please. And it does a dandy job of making me feel clean and refreshed I’d hate to try to shower without one…
I use a fresh washcloth for every shower. I squirt some of the liquid soap on it, wash my face, and then work downwards.
The version i heard mentioned how bars of soap are ususally shared between family memebers and it is that which is disgusting.
Who wants to use a bar of soap and no washcloth to scrub their face when it was just used to clean your mother’s butt or genitals? If only the washcloth has body contact, well that unsettling image can never spring to mind.
Bart Simpson, fantasising: “Ah wash mahself with a rag on a stick.”
Do you also have a seperate bar of soap for each family member after they use the loo? It’s soap! It’s job is clean.
I’ve actually got a separate bathroom for everybody 
It’s hard to blame somebody else because the room’s a mess.
Of course my wife and I shared but with double sinks and a shower for me separate from her tub, pretty cool arrangement.
Then there’s the guest bathroom which I keep spotless clean. That’s off limits to everyday use and is adjoining the guest bedroom.
:eek: Dude. I just inhaled Mountain Dew. HAHAHA!!!
And we all know who does that*. Ah, good times.
*It’s a pretty old thread. Try not to bump it.
People have the WEIRDEST hangups.
I use the same washcloth (all over my body) until it starts to smell… off.
Ardred uses bar soap and a cloth, with the soap held underneath the cloth. He gets a good lather because he has body hair, which gives it some great friction action.
I tried this, and I got a film of soap and no lather. Blech.
I use liquid soap with moisturizers and Ardred uses antibacterial bar soap. I use his only if I’m out, because it dries out my skin.
Actually, that sounds like a great way to get a staff infection!
I’m white. I use a washcloth-a clean one from the cabinet-and soap-soap up the cloth, wash face, then wash the rest, ass and naughty bits last. THEN, I throw the dirty washcloth in the laundry basket with the rest of the dirty towels.
Nothing fancy.
Damn, who the fuck washes his ass before washing his face? Because that’s just wrong.
Target washcloths rock!
A popular misconception is that Romans made use of a room called a vomitorium for the express purpose of vomiting in between meals, so that a person could consume more. This myth is false; a vomitorium is really a passage situated below or behind a tier of seats in an amphitheatre, into which the crowds could “spew out” at the end of a show.

I hate washcloths and have them mostly in case a guest wants them. Otherwise, they generally just stay stacked in the linen closet.
But I just love bath stuff. 
Puffs, loofahs, exfoliating cloths, brushes, a foot scrubber that sticks to the bottom of the shower, pumice. I’ve even got a rubber ducky in there.
All these make my body feel great, but to get clean I prefer my lathered hand. And it’s always right there on the end of my arm. Can’t beat that.
