I do. All the time. I have the OralB braun thingy.
It's good. While I am washing, I am brushing. Saves me like 2 minutes. If I had mirror in the shower, I would shave there too.
As it stands now, I shave while I am driving to work and eating 😉

I can't use cold water on my toothbrush. I literally makes me gag. Must be hotwater, is feels better and kills germs better.😀 I have always used hot water. Maybe this is why I have never had a cavity.😕

Warmth doesn't kill germs better (or we'd be putting our food in a heater, not a refrigerator), and I prefer cold water as opposed to warm; I tend to get the gag reflex if I brush with warm water, for some reason. No cavities ever here, either...
 
I do, a habit that I picked up from living in a dorm back when I was in college. I was sick of waiting for someone to get out of the shower, after I've brushed my teeth at the sink, so I did everything in the shower and hogged the shower stall for as long as I wanted.

My sister does, I thought it was kinda wierd. Maybe I'll try it, are you sure I can use the Braun OralB in there? It won't short cicuit and zap me or anything?

How do you know what your sister does in the shower???
 
Oral-B is fine in the shower. It's pretty water tight. I wouldn't leave it lying in a filled bathtub, because I guess eventually the water might in theory sip in. But just showering should not be a problem. I've been doing it for 2 years.
 
Alright............... this has to be said.................. Who Pees in the shower 😀

Cheers,
Aquaman <<<<<<<< never pees in the shower 😀

I take showers in the morning. I don't brush my teeth... because it serves no purpose to get wet at the same time you're brushing your teeth, except maybe rinsing youself?

Hammer, did I mention I peed in the shower before?
 
Hot water kills germs and cleans better. Really, it does. Why do you think that Industrial Dishwashers have to be at 105 or higher degrees. If you guys are not using hot water to clean you things you are full of germs and worms.

Ask any food inspector.

Try this. Touch something mildly oily, wash your hand with soap in cold water, they will still feel dirty. Now wash them in hot water the oil will now be removed because of the temperature of the water.

That's right. Cooling just slows bacterial metabolizm so that they don't reproduce. You still have to kill the bacteria by cooking.
That's why you don't just thaw out chicken and eat it.

err, if it werent' atleast somewhat water resistent it would die from your saliva alone!!

its not perfectly water tight, so leaving it in a full tub of water would be silly. but its water resistent enough to use in the shower.


after your oral b dies, take it apart. so gross. you'll see sediement, goop, rust, and just gross sh*t. i've gone through 2 so i know what i'm talking about🙂
 
yeah I brush my teeth in the shower when I think about it, not all the time though

In the dorms i did it a lot because I would have my bucket o' cleaning supplies with me, toothbrush, soap, shampoo etc
