I lather up a washcloth and scrub that way.
That's the way all our great-grandparents did it. But with a bowl of warm water.
Uses just a fraction of energy & water. With the abundance of cheap energy, affordable piping and heating became affordable for the masses.
I mean, I also use an actual shower for the rinsing and hair, I just use a washcloth instead of my bare hands or a bar for soaping everything up.
That's what I thought, hence I mentioned the bowl of water. Which was heated with wood or coal which had to be carried manually... in buckets... Imagine that :-)
