Sure, it happens, but obviously only when I'm in my own company. I live alone so if I don't want to wash then its easy to say 'what the hell'.
Also shaving, for men, its a kind of sign of how well you feel but sometimes we like to go un-shaved for a few days to get that really close shave that is only possible when you have a bit of bristle.
Right now I need a replacement shower, not got round to it so am stuck with a bath which always seems to me like its wallowing in your own dirt. I always rinse off afterwards with a few jugs of water. To be honest if you are not working then your not likely to be dirty and need a wash every day - but its always best to shower everyday as it makes you feel good.
When I had a shower, it was not unusual to have two showers a day company or not. But a bath it just seems a long drawn out affair - plus I have to wait 20 mins for the heater to work. Twice a week maybe I take the plunge, but wash each day and wash my hair and shave at least every second day.
If I'm going out, I'll wash immaculately, shave close, brush my teeth with electric and normal brush - plus clean my tongue with the attachment, gargle with a well known mouth wash - or another I have for healthy gums. I'll shower for a good twenty minutes sometimes and use some nice smelling shower gel plus head and shoulders shampoo. A couple of sprays of aftershave and I'm good to go. A nice casual short sleeved shirt, casual trousers, shoes or trainers.
I look good under a neon bar light - don't we all!
But if I'm just slouching around, or hanging about with the lads, there's nobody to impress! I like clean clothes, but wear old clothes indoors, comfortable stuff like tracksuit trousers, old tshirt.
going out even to the shops, I'll put on something casual but clean. Depends on the weather.
You always feel better after a nice shower, brush of the teeth and freshly washed hair.
Also, clean clothes!
I guess depression is a big factor with personal hygiene and I've always managed to stay clean , wear a anti antiperspirant and so on. One time I let things go in work and was told by a workmate. I felt bad! But I was glad to actually hear it as I was working all hours, sleeping on the site. When working and sweating a lot you need a wash and change of clothes each day. I had no access at the time for a while. Living a bit rough.
A clean home also makes a happy home! So, if your feeling a little bit down icelady, time to get the spring cleaning done!
I'd say 'keep clean' is a motto I'd love to live up to more. I clean my front steps, the windows and do OK for a single man. I can wash up, wash clothes, almost mastered ironing and have recently learnt that you check the sizes when buying curtains.
Good luck!
