I survived a lathey foreman
I was experimenting about 6 months ago to try showering just using a 24 & 30mm synthetic shave brush and thought it would work better than a wash cloth possibly!?
So I tried it because a shave brush will kick up such a great lather while shaving and fellows shave in the shower so why not try it out. After a few showers I concluded a few things that to make it work better that I shampoo my hair first and wash out soap because this warms the shower area and gets your body wet for lathering.
Then shut the valves off and then gently open the warm and cold water to get a trickle or small stream of water and start lathering myself.
I still use a back scrub brush for decades to get at my back which is hard even with a wash cloth to reach, the synthetic shave shave brush is superior to lathering the body as long as the water is not raining down on a person while applying the soap, it feels gentle and with 20,000+ hairs whisking body grim & sweat away + works superior to a wash cloth IMO. After lathering all I do is turn on the shower and rinse soap off well and feel just clean.
While shower is back at full strength spray I clean the brush up against the shower nozzle turn off the water give the brush a few slaps against my left hand to drive out the water and attach to rope with a thick elastic band to hold it. Then just give the brush a few swipes with a towel and good to go until next shower session. No mildew problems no extra laundry and gets the body cleaner possibly IMO.
A synthetic shave brush will dry in about 2-4 hours if towel dried where a face cloth takes many more hrs to dry properly inviting mildew possibly!
Have some great showers!
