I just don’t want to mix them because I feel like it would make me less clean.

Relatedly, what’s the best way I can follow the Patrick Bateman skincare routine as a simplified version that’s actually practical to follow and contains the most important steps?

    Its more common when you need to take a farmers bath.

    Interesting, I didn’t know about that term at all. What’s a farmer’s bath, some kind of deep-wash, basically?

    You sterilize because the main cause of stink is not dirt or oil or sweat but microorganisms. […] Soap does not kill microorganisms very well on its own, instead it helps the water pick them up and wash them away

    Which is why I mentioned soap as a degreasing agent, removing oils and the vast, vast majority of microorganisms with it, alongside water and friction.

    Also about the surgeon thing I’m pretty sure they still use sterilized gloves in a sterilized environment with equipment that’s been through riggerous decontamination.

    Because they’re gonna play with your insides, where the smallest thing could infect and kill you.

    They probably use hand sanitizer too lol.

    While washing their hands with soap and water?

      A farmers bath is a term for taking a small tub of water and washing yourself with it and a rag. Its how people usually kept themselves clean historically before running water was a thing. Still very common in rural areas, with campers, and nomadic people who live in vehicles.

      About the other stuff, look dude I’m not trying to get into an argument or debate you on semantics. You asked a question and I answered it honestly. Sorry if it sounded like I was talking down to you or insulted your intelligence. I hope that I helped you learn something interesting. Have a nice day.
