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??!!!!!!!!

It is, and I am. Mea culpa. I just like to stand in the shower and
gaze out at the garden. It is wasteful, but it is a little luxury that
helps me get through the day. I would like to get a greywater
system in place to help salve my concience.

Because I don't feel clean till I've done it.

I'm not wasting it. I'm rinsing the soap off my body while I am tooth
cleaning.

That comment is totally illogical. You seem to think it's OK to take
longer to wash but not OK to be a quicker washer and to also do one's
teeth at the same time. And I'm not wasting any water than any other
person can use. I collect my own and have never yet had to buy water.

It's never OK to waste water, whether it's for a longer wash or tooth
brushing. But the only person you can change is yourself. And you can
believe what you want to help you sleep at night.
