3. It can get tedious at times
Some may say wiping makes them feel like they're in a rut. :rofl:

2. I hate shaving, but I hate the "homeless look" I get if I don't shave
so I try to shave only every other day. So shaving is my choice for this.

4. Showering....
Unless I get really sweaty, I try to shower every other day. I pay for water and it is a huge savings if only fifteen showers a month rather than thrity. I have a baby face so i can go for days without shaving.....

12. We're on water rations here, because of drought...
So we take "whore's baths" a couple times per week.

5. I can go without shaving for a while
I've been known to skip the occasional shower, but on a regular basis I can live without shaving. It's pretty easy for me since a) I have light hair and b) I always wear long pants anyway. :P

Here ends TMI about Cabcere. :rofl:

6. Shaving.
Tissue paper skin, barbed wire beard. If I don't shave I get bristles that tear my skin. If I do shave, I get razor bumps that burn and bleed. I can't win.

I'd love to never need to shave again.

13. I've tried hair removal stuff
It does bad things to my skin, unfortunately.

16. Shaving
I'd grow a beard/mustache (I have sideburns to the bottom of my ear, but that's it in terms of facial hair) so I could avoid the process, but the beard looks too patchy for my taste and I also lack much hair in the beard/mustache connector area. So I keep on shaving, but skip as often as I think I can get away with it.

Wiping- well, I don't think anyone really *likes* to do it, but I wouldn't want to deal with the result of doing without it, either!

18. I think I could hold my pee for half a day.
That totally trumps skipping a hygiene item.

19. Shaving.
It grows so fast, it's not even worth it.

20. Between the fact that I can go for days without shaving and nobody will notice...
and the fact that I didn't bother to shave at all the last few years until just recently when I started looking for a new job... not much of a contest. :)

21. Makeup
I know some folks here probably already don't wear it, but seriously....I frighten small children when I don't wear any kind of eyeliner.

My eyes completely disappear, and I look horribly sick. I had an eye infection once and went to work without it, and all day long I had people coming into my office asking if I needed them to call a doctor or something. :eyes:
