Jon Moss Becker, I don't feel so bad to have the same thoughts as you! I also love the shower stuff - my fiancee and friends think am daft! Agree about Aveda shampoo, love Kiehls Pour Homme Sower Gel and Gucci II Pour Homme is the best smelling scent at the mo, although Creed Santal is pretty nice! Heres to smelling good!

Molly Bennett I'm surprised not to see any LUSH products mentioned! I thought everyone who is really into bath & shower products was a LUSH fanatic. ;) If you have a store of theirs in your area, check them out. If not, order online. Everything there is amazing. Also, I think it's awesome when guys use contitioner. Girls like running their hands through your hair as much as you like running your hands through theirs! My girlfriend (who is on the butch end of the gender spectrum) conditions her hair 1-2 times a week, and it feels amazing to run my hands through it and put my face in it. (09.02.07, 08:05pm)

Toni Clearly you're not living under Level 5 water restrictions. 4 minute showers suck!! (09.02.07, 05:53am)

tony Bisson Whenever I go to Burning Man I make sure to reserve an inexpensive Reno Hotel room for the night just so I can shower and relax before the long drive back to San Francisco or SoCal (depending on who I am traveling with.) If you wait until that weekend, there will be no vacancies. So was Burning Man better then 2nd shooting at Fongmania? (09.01.07, 04:37pm)

Leah Simmers You're a hoot, it's funny how into my showers I have been into lately, my addiction is paul mitchell tea tree shamppoo in teh green bottle, it is unreal, it tingles your head clears your nose smells the whole bedroom and bathroom. Yep I sit there and smell the stuff in my hands forever before putting it in my hair, hubby loves it too, it actually started out being something I got for him and then I took it over. Give it a try sometime, (09.01.07, 04:07pm)

kerri wow... i'm surprised that i could pretty much envision your entire story... LOL :o) (09.01.07, 02:36pm)

keats I have to say for anyone out there who might fall into this category... I almost didn't go to burning man because of the "no shower" element... which is only made worse for me because I'm a girly girl and the NO BLOW dryer is usually a deal breaker .... but 5 minutes after you get there you are covered in a fine layer of baby powder like dust -- no oil, very little sweat and hair two shades lighter than normal. If I can do it / and enjoy it -- ANYONE CAN! (09.01.07, 02:16pm)

Micah Man I remember when I went that long without a wash...I started laughing in the shower because it was just so good. Alright B, so you plug the shave cream, but what about aftershave? (09.01.07, 12:34pm)

Gloria P. You are one brave soul Becker! I can't go 24 hours without showering, ick. And I'm a girl & you're right, you use more products than I do! :) (09.01.07, 09:00am)

Terry Chan WooWee! 100 hours without showering. I can almost smell you from here through the Internet. :-) Glad you're back in one piece. i heard many "exciting" stories about Burning Man. (09.01.07, 07:57am)

Jessica Yummy! I was just eating my cereal while reading about your caked armpits ;-) How come you weren't at the wedding of the Year? It was awkward to see all those photographers (on the pics) and not seeing YOU anywhere. Btw, love to steal the Gillette Fusion from my bf. It's so smooth... (09.01.07, 04:06am)

MA5EN I'm comfortable enough in my manhood to say that loofas rule! (09.01.07, 02:57am)

Christian Sangree Great story, man. I'm with you on the Gillette Fusion and shaving in the shower! And twice a week... Gotta love it... Hey, your truth picture below rocks, too. (09.01.07, 01:45am)

MC I have to chime in. I was fooled by the 5-blade Gillette Fusion. The orange one, right? I though it was the best razor on the market until one day I was out of town and had to buy a Mach III because no Fusion at the store. So I went back, had a nice shave (Gilette Foam, I HATE the gel's - they never foam up nice enough). Anyway, that Mach III shaved SO FREAKIN NICE, I couldn't believe I got tricked by awesome marketing into thinking that the 5 blades MUST be better. I'm back to the Mach III, take it from one hairy Italian who needs to shave every other day! What's Origins? Regardless, I know what you mean, I love my post 3-5 day backpacking trips in the CO wilderness! Man I bet you STANK! (09.01.07, 12:53am)
