I don't take baths, but mainly because my bathtub doesn't have waterjets ;-) Once
I own a house, a whirlpool bathtub will be a necessity, and I'll take them every
chance I get.
I personally shower every day. I have to, as my hair looks too oily about a day
after the last shower, no matter how strong or weak a shampoo I use, or whether or
not I use a conditioner. If I skip a day, it's obvious (if you saw me at work on
Sat when I got paged in, you would have known I hadn't had time to shower before
speeding in to work - not a pretty sight).
Then again, I probably don't need a monthly bath, as I generally get dirty/oily
enough working on my cars at least once a month, to the point where I have to take
Simple Green and a pot scrubber sponge to my arms, neck, and legs (if wearing
shorts during the car work) ;-)
