Baths are nice for the occasional relaxing soak, but I always feel cleaner after a shower
My first reaction to this is that you've made the mistake of thinking baths are to do with getting clean.
I quite agree that showers are better for that. In fact I sometimes have a shower before I get into the bath, if I'm feeling especially grubby.
What?
What?
Do you hate wire hangers, too? :)
But it's easy to add a shower to a bath (just attach one of those showerhead on a cord thingys to the tap and hang it up above you.)
The only one of those I've ever tried had crap water pressure, though that could've just been the house. Anyway, it wasn't an option when I was in England, what with the whole being a volunteer worker staying in someone else's home thing. Especially given that my hostess and I weren't getting along that well--even if I'd had the money, I wouldn't have dare attempted home improvement projects. Loved England. Hated my living situation.
"No Wire Hangers!"
Hivemind. I'm learning that song right now to try out for the musical next month.

Well, if you're stuck in a house with no other options....
(Talk about your first world problems.)
I find that my skin was clearer when I could bathe.
I hate showers. If I had to choose, it would be bath all the way.
I wouldn't know about that--I always wash my face in the sink anyway, and the one thing that correlates with perfectly clear skin for me is if I eschew dairy products altogether. Right now my chin is reminding me how little willpower I've shown in the presence of cheese and ice cream lately.
But that soap scummy feeling! And no convenient way to wash your hair!
I still have no idea what the proper way to wash your hair in a bathtub is. I kept a plastic cup for rinsing, but that can't be the standard normal English rinsing technique.
I have no particularly interesting shower stories, but in Ukraine my parents' shower is heated by gas, so you have to go in the kitchen with a match before taking a hot shower.
I sometimes take a shower after finishing a bath, because of that soap scummy feeling Susan mentioned.
I cultured bathwater in lab once. Ickiness abounded.
Silly people using soap in a bathtub! Why do you think god invented bubble baths?
