The best morning routine: shower + bath = shath

I know the topic of morning routines has come up before but I’m tired of living my life in shame as a closeted bather…


That’s right. I’m a man and I take baths. Or rather, I take baths to the next level with shaths. You heard me.


In fact, I have problems starting my day without one…


I fill the tub with hot water between 1/2 and 3/4 of the way and I let the shower head run and flow over me and it feels amazing.


On occasion, I submerge my head in the tub and hold my breath as long as can as a sort of meditation.


As someone that was born with a heart condition, there also seems to be cardiac health benefits with bathing vs showering…


So I ask you…



Bathing as a man (as opposed to showering)

I shower [ ;) ]during the week but on the weekend I love taking a bath. I hook that shit up with a candle, drink, sometimes even a snack and I have bath bombs on deck. I sit my ass in there for more than an hour and listen to music/read.

I don't get what people mean when they say "you're sitting in your own filth." I shower daily, sometimes twice if it's hot out or I've been sweating and I work at a desk, not on a pig farm. The only thing filthy about me are my stacks of money from closing so many deals.

Do you, my g.

Bruh, you live in the civilized world. You could reuse bath water and still be fine. I don’t recommend it, but you get the point.
.
I love baths. Love ‘em. Never have time, and they never feel relaxing when I’m home. Single working professional life moves fast as balls. Staying alive is it’s own Olympic sport.
.
But if time permits I always fill that hotel tub and order room service. It’s feels even better when I get to expense it.

I'm a Californian and I....envy the ability to even think that using that much water isn't wasting it, and isn't going to have the Water Police show up at my door.

At least we have some ways to ameliorate usage these days, unlike the drought in the late 70s that included putting bricks (no NOT that kind of brick) in your toilet.   

It does make travel to other states not having drought issues fun, though.  Nothing like an overlong hot shower at a hotel!

But yeah, the guilt associated with hearing water running...that takes some time to recover from.

Ok, not joking. Is the water police a thing? Like I wouldn’t be surprised. California has it baaad.

It may or may not be.   I think it depends on your water district.   Mine has sent out guidelines, but prefers to hit you in the pocketbook if you go over your allotment rather than send out enforcement.   We're finally starting to get rain, so hopefully this is a wet year rather than a drought year.  Crossing fingers for sure.

Only time im shathing is when Im too hungover to stand and need to re-evaluate my life choices for a while. I dont plug the bath though. Just lay down in the tub in utter disgust of the decisions I made.

This one time I drank a bunch of water then jumped in the shower. Was washing my hair when I threw up. Good times.

Don’t take my bitterness personally. 2 kids more or less at home during Covid. I have like 38 seconds a day so a shath is out of the question.

I miss taking baths, but I don't think you're really cleaning in a bath unless you rinse and scrub afterward, but to each their own.

Bert Kreisher takes baths in pools for god sake, now that's filthy.

I don't fit in 95% of tubs because I'm too tall. So, not much of an option.

Honestly I'm jealous of you OP - I used to do what you're describing when I was a kid and it was glorious.

I thought a shath was taking a shit in the bath…like a showhizz is pissing in the shower.
Really makes you wonder what shamwow really is.

I was stuck between time consuming and stewing in your own juices as both are reasons I don't bathe. I do, however, take an ice bath about once a week.
