Once per day, unless I've gone to the gym, it was really hot out, etc.

Oh, and if I need to get rid of any evidence and all that, then another time for that too.

**despoiler52**

Once per day, people that think PWPWG (People who play war games) are "dirty kids", are number four on my "Hate list", after rakes, communists, and people who were crocs and socks.

**FITZZ**

You know,I honestly though this was a poll about using washes on minis.
But,to answer the topics question,at least once a day,twice if I've gotten particularly dirty.

**darkkt**

I think we need a poll "how dirty are you" - and wait for all the fun misinterpretations!

I've apparently been blessed with an uncanny ability to not look and smell terrible, no matter how unwashed I am. That said, it varies greatly. At times, it's multiple times per day (especially those humid summers when the shower is about the only place you don't feel gross), other times once every day or two (if you don't work up a sweat, dry winters give you quite a bit of leeway before you hit any significant skankiness). I have gone unseemly amounts of time without bathing, and plenty of times, don't get me wrong, but hygiene for me is more about health, for my own benefit, than to avoid an offensive odor and/or appearance.

**HoverBoy**

I wash when i feel dirty so its 2 or 3 times a week in winter, and 2 or 3 times a day in summer.

**gil gerard**

I work in a body and paint shop, not only do I wash frequently, I have to clean my hands with laquer thinner several times a day to prevent the paint from building up. I attribute the fact that I almost never get sick to my constant chemical exposure, I doubt whether germs or bacteria can even live in my blood! The downside is that I will probably eventualy come down with some horrific form of cancer that they will name after me, or my future children will be born looking like chaos spawn.

**Shaman**

I bathe in freshly spilled blood! Lord Khorne sayeth AIDS is my soap, Hep A my shampoo and Hep B my conditioner!

Sometimes however when I walk (Metal Bawkes are for cowards!) to the FLGS to take skulls in his NAME! It rains and washes off the blood. But praise HIM the smell of it remains to comfort me.

Have you played me Dakka?

**Cambak**

once when I get up and get ready for school, and once before bed, I have gym last period... , and on the weekends once a day is usually enough, unless it tourny day, then it's twice.

**devilfluff**

Bathe is probably better verbage.

I bathe daily, but wash my face, hands, etc. repeatedly each day.

**UberKarnage323**

i BATHE once every day, but i WASH my hands 2-4 times every day. no i am not a clean freak, but swine flu is going around here in america

**The Good Green**

Once a day, at least. Two or three times if I've been workin'. Sometimes I miss a shower or two... but not if I'm stinky.

**chaos**

gotta keep clean

**Mattlov**

Really depends on work for the day.

In the office? Just in the morning before I go in.

Playing on the interstate, up to the waist in a steel conduit feeding fish tape through 400 feet of sludge (wet mud, road dust, mouse gak), I'd like to be continuously showering.

Add in 85+ degree temperatures and it gets even more fun!

I hate summer.

**JaYkeH**

I was myself in a devln mud everyday folowed by a wash of badab black, then i get my towel and scrape it under my pits and use the chaosee black substance, and put it around my edges too highlight that.Then some spit is added to the mixture and i carefully apply that on top of th highlight to create a extreme highlight

. That way i stay very nice and modelly >.<

**Old Man Ultramarine**

Shower every morning. Wash hands often throughout day.

**white_kid**

Once a day, unless im working out or playing sports then i may need to shower again. also if its sunday and im not going out i wont shower (i don't attend a church service)

**aromasin**

I have bath to wash myself a shower straight after for hair, just before bed

**wyomingfox**

Once every fortnight

**brettz123**

There are some real nasty bastards on this board

**Kid_Kyoto**

Once a day, I'm a slob by Japanese standards.

**Albatross**

When I lived in Spain, at least twice per day - occasionally more. It's a sweaty place.

Here in the UK? Once a day, in the morning.

**NidMaster40000**

Hmmm. I'm a slobby college student... so I'd say probably once every other day or so. If I smell bad, maybe once every day.

If I'm doing any physical activity it's just going to the rec. center and swimming, so the chlorine will ward off the nasty stinks.

**grantosjones**

when I have a shower available its got to be at least twice a day, but if there's only a bath (like at the moment) its once a day, just can't be bothered waiting for the bloody thing to fill up :(

make an exception sundays when I have football where I'll have two baths in a day.

all this thread has done is remind me how much I miss the shower....

**Owain**

Surprisingly, most gamers at my FLGS are relatively well-groomed.

**BLACKHAND**

man , some of these polls have been pretty dumb but this really takes the cake , can't we think up more interesting questions that have some kind of relevance to the hobby?

**Xca|iber**

Once per day. I am fairly adamant about this and do not like being un-clean. (Though Papa Nurgle is still dear to my heart).

I make exceptions, usually when camping is involved, or if I'm only being delayed a few hours (such as coming home from a trip/party, etc) then I won't shower in the morning. I will, however, attempt to remain as clean as possible in the meantime.

I'm close to obsessive, but nothing serious, and I can easily drop the compulsion if it would inconvenience others, especially on trips, etc.

**Wildstorm**

Probably average 1.5/day. Depends on if I hit the gym or not.

Here is a poll that would be fun to see...

What frequency of polls do you prefer? 1/day, 3/week, etc.

lol

**Newt-Of-Death**

Every day... or two ...

Loved this tho:

I'm laid-off now so it's once a day, when I was working, which usually had me on my back in a landfill looking for a hydraulic leak on a bulldozer it was ALOT more.
