According to this
where the hell do they get these figures from?
You spend 81 minutes a day. 10 minutes longer than women. Apparently. My own personal grooming would be nearer 81 seconds. What would you say your average was then?

Gentlemen. How long do you spend per day on personal grooming?

does brushing teeth count as grooming? If so then 5 mins.
Otherwise it's 0mins daily and 5mins for a shave once a week.Posted 6 months ago # -
Yeah come on guys spill the beans.
Be honest now.

Grooming - is that a euphemism, or are they including time spent on the loo reading the news/STW? "Yes, darling - I'll be out in a minute just, err, splashing it all over"

23 minutes in the shower
that's just daft.
Is there someone with OCD spending 23 hours a day in the shower and offsetting everyone else with their 5 minute ones?

My hair is shaved to a 2 so it never needs doing. I might spend a couple of mins shaving every 4th or 5th day I guess. What else is there to do?

It's not the duration that counts... it's the timing - i.e. getting into the bathroom before she does.

The research, carried out for Travelodge, found that on an average morning men spend 23 minutes in the shower
23 minutes? How many times did they knock one out?
Daily routine
Shave: 6 minutes
Shower: 8 minutes
Clean teeth: 5 minutes
Get dressed: 8 minutes
Do hair: 30 secs!Less than half an hour easy, even that sounds like a long time!

about 2 hours ...it takes a lot of work too nearly look as good as philconsequences

Probably like 20 minutes in the shower and 5 minutes cleaning teeth a day, then about 30 mins a week shaving face, an hour on legs, and about 5 minutes decided what to wear a day (I'm thinking in terms of should I go bib longs or bib shorts and leg warmers here..).
So that comes out at about 43 minutes a day.. Dunno how you'd double that.

Grooming - mmm, that's not a word we're familiar with in our house.
It means brushing the horse to me!The man of the house probably spends 5 minutes and that includes shaving and admiring himself in the mirror

Shave: 2-3 mins
Brush teeth: 3-5 minsThat's yer daily amount of pies personal grooming.

showering = grooming does it?
Well I never.
I always had grooming down as "trimming one's pencil tache a la M. Poirot" or "tweezering rogue eyebrow hairs"

Yeah come on guys spill the beans
I spend more time on that than personal grooming, yes.Posted 6 months ago # -

Similar trend - wife took me to spa last year and end of the weekend was a facial. The "therapist" started very nicely chatting away before asking me about my facial routine. When I replied, cold water, wet shaving, and occassionally soap, she took umbrage and would hardly talk for the rest of the session. Maybe she realised I wasn't going to be a mug for the over-priced crap she wanted to sell me at the end!!

£156 wash bag - WTF?
my entire bathroom is worth less than that

Shower - 4 times a week @ ~8 mins a time
Shave - once a week @ ~10 minutes
Daily wash & teeth clean - ~30 mins in total
No hair to worry about
So, maybe 4 hours a week?
Posted 6 months ago # -
Usually wake up half 7. Out of the door at 8, including shower and breakfast. And getting dressed, and making my lunch.

Brush teeth twice daily and full head strim every week or two, it shouldn't be this easy to look so good but it just comes naturally.
Posted 6 months ago # -
Shave 10mins x 2 in a week,shower 3 x 5mins and a bath maybe once a week. Never time that coz I fall asleep. Thats it for grooming. Spend more time grooming the dog.
Posted 6 months ago # -
as per lifer, and i squeeze a 20min dog walk in there too.
Posted 6 months ago # -
its probably right if picking your nose and taking a dump counts.

Shaving legs? And you call yourself a Real Man?

Daily, 2 mins to shave, 30 secs for hair so lets say 5 mins per day to be generous.
Posted 6 months ago # -
Last night I scalped myself, which took about half an hour total. That averages out to about 30 seconds per day.
From this:
To this:
Daily:
Shower * 1 = 5 minutes
Teeth * 2 = 5 minutesSo, 10 minutes and 30 seconds per day in total.

We are (basically speaking) primates, so our time could be better harnessed by social grooming. Time is money, after all.
I imagine it will soon be HR policy everywhere, enshrined in law.

Prob average 10 mins a day .
2 mins in the morning . Wash hands, face, neck , spray deo, teeth .-> Go
8 mins Eve , Shower / Shave / Teeth / Scrub down and quick stretch.
Although sometimes I will have 3 showers in 1 day . Up with hangover = shower , windsurfing and getting chilled = home jump in shower , Solo night ride hard and fast = get home hot and sweaty so jump in shower.Posted 6 months ago # -

does taking a dump count as personal grooming?
if so maybe those figures are about right
if not....
shower + brush teeth 10 mins
freshen up of undercarriage and pits with babywipe + squirt of deoderant in disabled toilet at work 5mins
wash and brush teeth before bed 5 minsit helps that i have 0 maintenance hair and can rarely be bothered to shave
the telegraph is on the whole a pile of crap, this story further confirms it

ffs "research done for Travelodge"
I guess making up some research, getting the Press Association to put it out on their wires is cheaper than traditional advising. It has been picked up my news sites in India, which fail to mention which country the research was done in!!
