Typically less than 10, but I picked the 2nd option because sometimes I wanna repeat that lather-rinse thing, and sometimes there is landscaping to be done. Under 10 for an express wash. LOL

Depends how much time I have.

Sometimes I won't wash my hair, then I can "shower" in like 5 minutes.

If I wash my hair it'll be 10.

If I shave it'll be like 30-60 minutes because I'm terrible at it, but that's not all showering, I turn the shower off when shaving and then reshower etc.

If I have lots of time then it's often until the hot water runs out, which used to be an hour but I put an old school shower head on there which dumps out water on you and it seems the hot water lasts like 20 minutes tops now.

I said 11-20 minutes but thats if I have a long shower. I am the quick showerer in my family, I straightenmy hair daily so most days I don't even get it wet. I jump in, wash my face, wash my body and jump out. Between two and 4 times a week I'll wash hair/shave legs/underarms also and that adds up a bit.

When I was at uni, I lived with a girl who would listen to 2 FULL music albums in the shower...........

The weird thing is, she would only shower about once a fortnight too... This is one of the few occasions I'd advocate quantity over quality!!!

My usual pre-work shower is around 10 minutes. Shaving and such takes longer. Sometimes I love a nice long shower.

10 minutes if I don't shave, 20 if I do.

I'm a slow shaver.
This. If I shave, add on 10 minutes to the end of the shower, but most of it is done with the water off. Normally I'm in and out in 10, slightly more if I do a deep conditioning thingy with my hair. More yet again if I am doing anything fancy with my face, like rinsing off a mud masque.

My boyfriend actually takes longer to shower than I do, so I feel okay about my shower times.

If I'm just rinsing off because I'm dirty/sweaty, and I don't wash my hair, I take about 4 minutes.

If I wash my hair, I take around 7 minutes.

If I shave, and wash my hair I take 10ish? minutes.

When I shower, I do the whole shebang: shampoo, conditioner (amd I have long, thick hair), shave everything, face wash, body wash. That takes me around 25 minutes. According to my boyfriend, it takes me eons because he is in AMD out in under ten - but he just washes his (short) hair and body and is good to go.

My dad was in the navy and he taught us how to take short showers. Most of your body does not need to be scrubbed every day unless you work in a dirty environment. There's actually a book about this called, "How to wash your face."

5 minutes is plenty unless I've been digging in the garden, then it's still under 10 minutes.

I usually take like 25-30 minutes. I love long showers. :p I'm slow at shaving and I take ages washing/conditioning my hair, too. And not gonna lie- sometimes I just like to stand under the hot water. I know some people are morning shower-ers, and I think if I showered in the morning I would be quicker. But I always shower before bed- always have. So I can take my time. :p

That was the worst part about when I lived in the UK. The stupid dorm showers were horrible and freezing and there were always people queued up waiting to use them. Definitely not a nice, relaxing experience. :p

I try not to waste time in the shower, seeing as how only about 2% of the earth's water is fresh water. I'd say about 7 - 10 minutes and add 2-3 minutes every other time for shaving. I use to turn the water off in between things. Rinse, shut off, soap up/shampoo/turn water back on, rinse. But I've gotten less thrifty lately. lol. I also have to water quite a bit in my garden so I feel guilty if I use too much in every aspect.:eek:

~10 minutes.. but my entire "taking a shower" time is an hour. no more, no less. I use the rest of the time to read. Yep. That's about the only me-time when I can get away from Katie, the dogs & my hubby, so I better take advantage of it!

30 mintues without shaving. If shaving it takes a lot longer, but my hair hardly grows at all, so other than my arm pits I don't need to shave very often anyway.

I take my time in the shower because it's kinda my daily detox time. I find the water running over me to be very relaxing and I swear the stress relief of it helps me keep whatever small grasp of sanity I have.

If you are not alone... it usually takes longer ;) ;) ;) LOL LOL

i think i am average, about 15 min, close to or over 30 if i have to shave anything. i try to use an electric razor for as much as i can because its so irritating to my skin & i hate all those bumps i get under my arms, plus applying deoderant to freshly shaved pits is a bitch, which is why i switched to Dove deoderant, because the degree i was using was causing mr horrible rashes after i shaved, dove has ingredients that soothe fresh shaved skin.
