I've been considering switching actually. I need to find one which doesn't make my hands feel weird though. To ease my conscience a bit, I've been buying larger "lower plastic" refills for the smaller bottles.
Depends on water though. I find it impossible to fully wash off shampoo or shower gel with hard water, but bar soap will wash off easily and fully.
I don't know what's really going on there though.
Does your computer have automatic AI up scaling or something? Because on mine this picture has so much JPEG it’s hard to tell that it’s even a real showerhead
It's hard to get ahead when you're barely getting by. There are many of us who have been working hard but are in much the same position at 35. I've edited the post accordingly.

Having money isn't a good excuse to be wasteful. Why not use the last of the bottle?
zakobjoa@lemmy.world · 23 pts · 347d
Use bricks of soap instead.

Perhaps they meant throw bricks at the rich. Not the ones made from soap.

With hard water?? Usually it’s soft water that makes soap like butter. Hard water should wash soap off easily. Am I missing something here?
user224@lemmy.sdf.org · 4 pts · 347d
That is what I am saying. Soap yes. shower gel and shampoo no.
jaybone@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 347d
Really? Weird. I never noticed that. But I haven’t had to deal with hard water in a long time. Maybe I’m not remembering.

I tried a bar shampoo but it made my scalp itchy and my hairs felt like they were coated with a "sticky soap film" like in the old Zest commercials

First shampoo bar I tried was garbage, I tried a different brand and had much better results
zakobjoa@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 347d
I am a barbarian. I buy "soap" and use it from scalp to sole.
moncharleskey@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 347d
I think they are putting water in the bottle in an effort to get the last of the soap out and stretch it a little further.
datavoid@lemmy.ml · 9 pts · 347d
Being poor isn't the only reason to use the whole bottle though

Me at 70, trying to make the child-size coffin I could barely afford for my own funeral slippery enough so I can get squeezed in later:

The problem with this meme is the marble tile shower and nice showerhead.
ThePantser@sh.itjust.works · 27 pts · 347d
Marble? That's soap scum and mold.
Death_Equity@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 347d
The clean joints above the showerhead and in the corner say otherwise.
Smoogs@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 347d
Is it that you cant afford a scrub brush to clean the shower?
sykaster@feddit.nl · 20 pts · 347d
Nice showerhead? That's the most basic showerhead in Brazil, far fromanything fancy.
Death_Equity@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 347d
It looks like a multi spray pattern model.
In America, the cheap ones we get look like this:
redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 8 pts · 347d
This is just that in black plastic
Jesusaurus@lemmy.world · -2 pts · 347d
The one in the meme looks like it has an adjustable head that you can rotate to get different spray patterns
user224@lemmy.sdf.org · 9 pts · 347d
And? We have an adjustable one, it cost €6 at Lidl.
redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 347d
Its so pixelated it may be the step up with the power sprayer bonus setting.

Seen one of those in ~20 years of homelessness and slum life.

In my horrible apartment it was just a pipe sticking out of the wall with no head. I fixed it myself but they seemed fine with it.
bdonvr@thelemmy.club · 6 pts · 347d
Nice showerhead? Looks like a cheap crap one. What's your standard - a bare pipe?
Death_Equity@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 347d
I said nice, not great, not fantastic, no premium, not luxurious.
It is nice. It is better than the typical land bastard special:
panda_abyss@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 347d
Maybe it’s marble patterned laminate

Ive lived in some fucking disasters. Easiest cheapest thing you can do is bring your own shower head.
Also this one, while not the absolute bottom of the barrel, isn't good.

Anyone know what was the original age, and how long ago? For science

What kind of experiment are you conducting?

Real.

If that's conditioner, you'd be better off just using it undiluted. Adding water makes it a lot less effective.
Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works · 23 pts · 347d
I'm pretty sure they're just trying to get one more use from an empty bottle
dangercake@feddit.uk · 2 pts · 347d
I thought it was only posh people that used up all the rinsed conditioner in one go

You’re 25, this looks pretty standard. Majority of people don’t own(mortgage) a home until at least 35+.
I like how OP modified meme to say 35 after it was 25 originally.

I don’t know many people who owned a home before 40’s at least. Including myself.

Unless you're over 60, then you had one when you were under 25.
