Plus baths remind one of the unfortunate aspects of entropy as they quickly end up room temperature.
Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

If I only had a brain...
In fact I sometimes have a shower before I get into the bath, if I'm feeling especially grubby.
I think the japanese always wash before using the soaking tub.
Our master bathroom doesn't have a tub. this makes me sad. Now I have to take my mondo baths in the children's bathroom.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I always shower before or after a bath, and leave the hot water trickling in. I can beat entropy, dammit.

I do a quick rinse, then have my first, soapy hairwashing bubbley bath.
I drain about half the water, and rinse my hair under the tap as the new, warm water rushes in.
Then, after a nice soak (with occasional warm-ups), I set my book down, use my foot to turn on the shower, and drain the tub while the hot water rushes over me.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
A bathtub with some sort of heating element would be luscious. It would also be dangerous, because I don't think I'd ever leave once I got in.

I bath, then I have a shower, to rinse thoroughly. I grew up in a house with a bathtub only, so I always feel cleaner after a bath. But my baths are never terribly long, because I hate the prun-y feeling.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm an every-other-day hair washer so I easily tub half the time.

When I want a bath but I only have time for a shower, a put the plug in during the shower, so at least my feet get a bath. Bathing the feet provides a suprising amount of relaxation...

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I can easily spend 5 hours in the tub. I got one of those bath rack thingies for my birthday, so I may be able to last longer nowMy get clean baths are much like PM's (not terribly shocking to me). But for spa day it's bath then shower.

I normally wash my hair in the sink- the current abode has a large sink in the bathroom which is okay for that, and no shower. If it had a shower, I'd wash my hair there.
