How to produce shower thoughts ?

Rate my routine :

  1. Shower but no soap, just wet the body
  2. Remove dripping water from body with the small towel
  3. Wet small towel with cold water and remove excess water from the towel
  4. Go to sauna for 12 mins using cold towel
  5. Rince the sweat off from body and towel in shower
  6. Cold water bath
  7. Wash full body and head
  8. Hot water bath
  9. Wash full body and head
  10. Dry with towel
  11. Exit bath area and change back.

Do the helicopter - it's the japanese traditional greeting

    For a public onsen, I’m fairly certain “scrub down, with soap” is absolutely intended to be the first step.

    Pretty bad if you only use water and no soap. You will still have a layer of dirt on your body when you go into the bath.

    Strictly speaking this breaks rule 2 and probably rule 1. But I get that it's meant to be meta so I'll leave it up to see if people complain.
