The idea is that you don't run the water continuously while
shaving
or brushing your teeth. You brush/shave first, then rinse. It does
add up to quite a lot. I probably waste a litre or two a day
brushing
my teeth in the shower.

Do people actually brush their teeth in the shower?? That certainly
would
waste a lot of water. It's a totally ridiculous thing to do.

I do and my showers are still briefer than those of my extended family
who are all on town water. I keep wondering what the hell they are do
in the shower to take so long, and especially since they tell me they
don't do their teeth while they are showering.
