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

Why on earth would you do that?? There's no need to have any tap running
while brushing your teeth, and the shower uses a lot more water than a tap
in the basin does. Imagine how much water you're wasting! Even just having
the tap running in the basin while your brushing is bad enough, but having
the actual shower running - that is just stupid in these days of troubles
with drought and water shortages!!!!!

Some people just take longer in the shower because they like to wash more
thoroughly, or slower, or like to rinse more. But to have it going just
while brushing your teeth??!!!!!!!!
