Nice try buddy, you're not fooling anyone.
What? It's not like I'm asking for videos or anything. Although I do still have quite the imagination. (Read that last sentence to yourself with a really creepy Vincent Price voice.)
Okay, seriously. This is pure curiosity. You don't have to break it down into steps or detail, but do you adhere to the same exact routine, or do you mix it up? Maybe you wash your ASS first one day, and then the next day you start with your wet, glistening PECTS.
I'm just concerned that my OCD has been manifest, yet relatively confined, within my shower routine. But now that I'm cognizant of it, I fear it could spill out into other areas of my life.
I am a routine man very much like your order but i shave and brush my teeth first at the sink (every morning).
My peculiarity is as soon as i finish cleaning my teeth, i take a big swig of mouth wash and do not
spit it out until i am back at the sink and my shower is finished.I usually shower for about 8 minutes
is this OCD enough for you ?
Are you fucking kidding me?
I just can't believe you gargle for 8 minutes.
Other than blasting the song below to announce imminent bathing, I have no routine. Bit of a free spirit.

I adopt 'ships routine', by getting wet then turning the water off while I soap up and wash, I turn the water back on to rinse off. Saves water and you use less body wash, or Brut 'soap on a rope', or whatever it is you do use. Top down rinsing makes sense.
The common mistake that men make, which a couple of you have referenced, is to shave before showering. Guys do this as showering afterwards helps stop the bleeding from all the cuts they have inflicted on themselves. If you shower first your skin will be softer and the bristles will be raised, therefore you get a closer shave and will not cut yourself anywhere near as much. You will also get a better shave post shower if you are one who prefers an electric razor.
Shower first, shave second.... try it.
I also shower first and shave second.

I may try the "ships routine" too.
I use Irish Spring soap.

You sick main.
/\ what's wrong with Irish Spring?
For special occasions I steam my face (hold it over a bowl of boiled water for 5 minutes with towel surrounding it) prior to shaving. Even better than shaving after a shower (which I would also recommend).
I just go straight to town with the safety razor (I've been using a Merkur for a while too Turrentine) and just proceed to rip huge, pink chunks of skin off my face. Always going against the grain too.
Do you guys typically shower at night or in the morning?
