I set a huge PR this morning. I started my watch as soon as I had both feet on the tub floor and stopped it immediately after shutting off the water. Here are my splits (in seconds):
Pre-rinse: 24
Shampoo: 43
Face: 21
Body: 51
Post-rinse: 18
Total: 2:37
I need to drop my face and body splits, but I was proud of how strong I finished the post-rinse. Hopefully I can get below 2:20 by this summer.
What are your fastest shower times?
Good job. In college I used to wake up 15min before class. Shower usually took 3min, dressed at 8min, grab apple and backpack at 9min, out the door at 10min, run to class, show up 2min early to lecture.
3-4 min, but i have a shaved head and a low amount of body hair (lots of muscles to wash though, and big balls)
you are serializing this too much. you can combine shampoo and face within the same 43 seconds. and 51 on body seems long, and if you go top to bottom you can start the post rinse while finishing the lower body washing.
and you should include getting in and out of the shower. regulation timing starts from the bath mat, not in the tub.
sub 2 should be possible for a youngster, much less if you are bald.
it all depends on how much time i spend soaping my dong.
I lived in a Caribbean nation for three years in the 70s. We often had no hot water for weeks at a time. Sometimes, we had no running water and had to use our back-up bucket water. I washed from a small bucket with soap and cold water after running. Time was not relevant, but efficient use of the water was critical. But, I can guarantee when the showers worked, and there was no hot water, the duration was much less than one minute.
Drop the face portion and save valuable seconds.
Take care of the face when you shave.

Gotcha. I'll make the timing adjustments. 51s on the body is long; I had trouble getting a good lather going, so I'm probably going to get some new soap. Hopefully that will knock off some time.
The first couple of weeks of XC practice in HS they had not yet turned on the hot water heaters. That was a quick shower. Then again, there was a cold water outdoor shower at a park in Texas and after a long run in the summer you could take your time under it.
my PR is 1:06 from turning the shower on to turning the shower off in the locker room
used shampoo on all the important parts, genitals pits head

Well, as a bald guy, no shampoo for me, so I can easily get done in under 2 minutes if I hurry.
I conveniently saw this thread just before taking a shower, so I figured I'd go for a time it and report. Here are my splits (in seconds also):
Pre-rinse: 9
Shampoo: 25
Face: 28
Body: 40
Post-rinse: 17
Total time: 2:00.29
I'm definitely capable of sub-2 next go 'round, as I had to re-soap several times due to an almost fully used-up bar that doesn't lather well anymore. I'd say my average shower time is 3:30-4:00, though.

Wow. In my face.
your thread title is misleading. it isn't a "thorough" shower unless you spank it.
The surest way to bring down your times is to up your weekly showerage. The more you shower, the faster you get.
The bane of the fast shower is hot water. Use cold water and you'll be rocking sub-3 without even thinking about it. Another good move is getting wet, turning the shower OFF, lathering, and turning the shower back on to rinse. That is greased lightning.

Umm, it's too wasteful. My little sis goes to camp every summer and they have a 1 minute shower limit.
Here's more info:

You must be a spend and spend liberal. You don\'t care about wasting other peoples stuff. As a true conservative, I (and my family) shower only every other day and that too for only 3 minutes tops.
