Getting it.

I don't think I would go as far as a dry cleanse. I'd still want to use water, preferably in a shower or a bath. The only thing preventing me from trying this now is what it my hair would be like for the transition period.

I shower until I'm clean. Use a cheap Wal-Mart type shampoo for hair and rinse the rest of me thoroughly. Right now I shower once a day, come summer when the humidity is around 95% I might shower 3-4 a day depending on how much time I spend in the pool or ocean.

I experimented with no soap. I've found that using good hot water will get everything pretty clean, even without soap. That includes handwashing. My soap of choice is Kirk's Castile Soap. We used it on the farm where we had really hard well water, and it was the only thing that would get up a good lather. Now I just prefer it. I always soap pits and under/between my boobs, which, especially in warm humid weather, tend to sweat.
I enjoy a good shower. I can get out it 5 minutes or so if I have to, but I prefer a leisurely shower.
Or sometimes a quick shower to get clean, and then put the stopper in and soak in the bath tub. Ah, simple pleasures.

Usually 5-7 minutes unless I'm going to shave that day. Then it's usually 10-12.

Well...I don't think it's really a trick... I turn on the faucet, hop in the shower, grab shampoo with one hand while folding up my hair so it's all on the top of my head with the other hand, quickly lather, put the lather excess lather from my hair all over my body while rinsing out my hair, grab conditioner while folding up my hair, apply conditioner, run fingers through my hair, while rinsing out the conditioner from my hair I grab a bar of soap and lather the more difficult/potentially smelly spots, then a quick rinse off and I'm done. It's best accomplished with a high-pressure showerhead, it takes longer with low-flow faucets.

My showers schedule is not really consistent. I my shower time on a daily basis is >1<5min, but I typically have one or two long showers a week which range from >15<30minutes.

I have found this works pretty well if you have a good diet. I went on a Raw/Vegan diet for a while and after a few days I did not need any antiperspirant/deodorant or much soap in order to maintain a normal level of hygiene.
