When quizzed, the average adult estimated their wash bag with contents to be worth £52.23 when in reality the bag of essentials is worth nearly three times more at £156.69.
****, that's either an expensive toothbrush or can of lynx.

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

the telegraph is on the whole a pile of crap
I loved this, though:

Essentials? God forbid they take up mountain biking & discover STW - the "what do you carry in your camelbak?" threads will crash the internet.
Oh, wait...

Well I've easily reached about 50 mins to an hour in the last 24 hrs (or will have when I get to work tonight)
Cycled to work last night - shower, shave and clean teeth. Total 10 mins.
Cycled home this morning - shower, clean teeth before bed. Total 10 mins.
Got up this afternoon- quick but muddy spin on the bike- got home, shaved my hair and then shower. Total 20 mins.
Cycling to work tonight - shower and shave and clean teeth. 15 mins.Easily done boys and girls.
Edit. Yes I have cleaned my teeth since getting up today!

Shower - about 10 minutes.
Teeth 2 x 2 minutes
Shave every 7-10 days - 10 minutesso that averages out to about 15-16 minutes a day, maybe the average could be bumped up to twenty with the addition of a few two shower days.

Let's see.....
Shave (5 times a week) 1 minute
Mop up blood 10 seconds
Shower 1 minute 30 seconds (includes water warming time)
Get dressed 3 minutes max.
Teeth 2 mins x2That's 7 mins 40 seconds - any more and I'll miss the train.
Maximises time in bed, any more is pointless, you can't make a purse out of a sow's ear etc.

There are IT guys here that look to be in credit.

Most days it's a shower and teeth brushing in the morning and then teeth again in the evening. If I do something during the day (run, ride, squash) there'll be another shower in there. So about 10-20 mins a day maybe?
Once every few weeks an extra 20 minutes on beard trimming/goatee shaving.

this explains why there are blokes in my office that give off a bit of an smell after a while...

Mrs is away at the moment and the resort is in pre-season mode so my human contact per day is pretty minimal.
I think my grooming time might actually be negative. I am actively becoming less-groomed.

10 minutes on cleansing, toning and moisturising.
Is that a euphemism?

81 minutes. That sounds about right.
Scratching your balls is grooming, yes?

The 'Triple S' would only take 10-15mins and normally it's just the double S. Add teeth brushing, putting in contact lenses, and prophylactic odour management undertakings and it's change from 20 mins. Nail trimming for guitar purposes occasionally.
EDIT - 2 showers a day, sometimes 3.

I spend less than 15 minutes in the bathroom every day, but then I shave whilst I shit, that's the beauty of an electric razor

i read this in the Telegraph this morning and thought what a load of testes....
what self respecting man takes more than 10 minutes to get ready?
i'm up and out of the door within 5 minutes if need be. 30 minutes is enough time to cook and eat an egg'n'bacon sandwich with a cup of tea.
metrosexuals..... meh. probably wear scarves, too....

Well you do need to put the kettle on & wait for it to boil before you put it on the teabag

3 mins to brush teeth
12-ish mins in the showerTheres a foreign lass that works in the shopping centre here that approaches me whenever i go there to see if she can get me to try some hand paste stuff from god knows where. I have a laugh and tell her that it really is a complete waste of time as i have oil or brake fluid on my hands most days so it probably wont work.. but she still tries to get me to rub this stuff into ma paws. I keep explaining that ive told her in the past about the oil and brake fluid and she keeps forgetting.
I wonder if this gritty natural hand cream she tries to sell me is affecting her memory. Hmmm.

normal day is
teeth 3mins x2
bit of spray maby 20 seconds and thats me done
BUT i have to say i do savor my bath/shower time so every other day unles its a ride day il take about 15 mins in shower or a 1/2 hour bath & shave whilst in there
and twice a month il take a hour of me time to trim/shave/groom anything thats not picked up throu the week eg clippers on head and make funny shapes in my banzai tree and see if the misses can figure it out.

I never understand how it's possible to spend more than 3 minutes in the shower.
Get in, get wet, apply soap/shampoo/etc, rinse off, get out

Absolutely.
As long as you don't smell odd & aren't naked, anything else is massive overkill.

I have enough trouble trying to wee and poo simultaneously without throwing in the added danger of an out of control electric shaver.

81 minutes is more time than it takes me to get up, get the kids up (8 & 5), sort breakfasts, do the washing up from night before, ensure all things that needed to be done for kids school bags are done, and leave to get kids to school.... Somewhere in there is my 'grooming regime' and also that for the kids!

From my feet hitting the carpet to getting my coat on is about 15 minutes. Brush and tie back hair, brush teeth, strip wash at the sink, dry, dress, go. Shower in the evening and brushing my teeth again is another 15 minutes, plus shaving periodically when I can be ringed.
I never understand how it's possible to spend more than 3 minutes in the shower.
Long hair.
£156 wash bag - WTF?
I'm guessing, expensive aftershave?
My overnight bag would contain: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving gel and razor, deodorant, hairbrush, shampoo and conditioner, travel towel, moisturiser, aftershave. The dearest bit of that is obviously the aftershave, which was a present so I've no idea what it costs. The rest I could probably replace for, what, £20-£30 maybe?
