So, I am on the way to work this morning and I hear an ad on the radio. It says that Budweiser is urging you to go without shaving to conserve water...says that by skipping one day that you save 5 gallons. What a bunch of hippie crapola that is. Does anyone seriously use that much water??? And besides, the water purification plant has to make money... Any thoughts Gentlemen?
stay away from Budweiser they are shave haters lol
If I factor my shower in the equation with the shave, I could see 5 gallons. Are they saying we should not shower? If I used 1 gallon of water shaving I would be amazed. Tis ok though, I prefer Miller light when drinking domestic.
We have another name for Budweiser...but it's Not for public consumption...(wiper)...lol
Another example of corporate America trying to do something "good".
While I will say they are probably exaggerating. They are most likely not to far off. I know when I was shaving with a cart at the sink I would just leave the water on most the time. Mainly cause I had to rinse it often. So I could a lot of guys doing that and using 3 or 4 gallons easily.
The bulk of the water I use for shaving is cool water coming through the tap while the hot water meanders to me. Once I get hot though, I can't imagine it being more than a gallon, tops.
Save water, drink less beer!!

I can't see using 5 gallons of water shaving, a gallon or 2 at most for me. I don't let the water run to rinse my SR while shaving, a damp sponge is used for that. For saving water used in the toilet we always said "if it is yellow let it mellow, if it is brown flush it down". I don't consider Bud a beer.

I miss Icelandic glacial Water yum.
just came back from a trip to iceland 2 months ago wow it was great lol i know of topic lol
If Budweiser wants to save water they should stop making crappy beer. Shave on gentlemen!
Tell me about it, there was a big push locally to reduce water usage and it worked!! The only problem is the lost revenue from water had to be recouped somehow, so they just raised the cost on my water bill. Nice eh? Use less water and it ends up more expensive than it did when we 'wasted' it.Quote:

I've got a 400' deep well and this past rainy season should should allow me water needed to shave till I'm outta lather or the blade dulls ;)
Why do we need to save water? Surely the question should be how should we collect and conserve water so that it is freely available to all. The amount of water in our universe does not, and has not, ever changed. It either gets used and recycled or flows underground and then evaporates and then rains and so on and so on. Basically the water we drink now has been recycled endless times, but it's still the same water - the issue is how to distribute it across the globe during times of need..
Anyone who thinks you use gallons of water whilst shaving is a fool - try filling up your shaving mug then pour it into a pint pot and then calculate that 8 pints is a gallon (in UK terms) - I would be surprised if you get anywhere near a couple of pints in the whole process from start to finish.
Now try what the typical male does and turn your sink on for 3-5 minutes at full blast and see how many pints you get. It's the same argument as brushing teeth and wasting water.
Yep, one kidney at a time...Quote:

Next thing you know they'll come up with beer shaving soap and they will want you to use the water so that your lather will rival that of a head of beer.
Budweiser is crap anyways. Drink a local craft brew like Hangar 24.
Three letters for you P-B-R

On average I probably only use a quart of water per shave. Call me crazy but I'm still a big fan of flushing the toilet when it needs to be flushed and washing my arse when it needs to be washed. No, one or two showers a week is NOT adequate. 2/3rds of the planet is covered with water and it routinely falls from the sky. I think I'll my current hygiene regimen will continue unabated.
Who drinks rice, anyway?!?Quote:

That's beer, not Budweiser
:beer2::beer1:.
I use about a gallon most of the time. Pitcher and bowl shaving for me!
I'm all for the homebrew and microbrews anyway.
I brew the beer I drink!
The heck with beer soap just use bud for shaving period.
