Secret bunker in an undisclosed location.
My baseline is to shower once a day. In the Summer or if I'm doing stuff that gets me dirty like mowing or such might be twice a day.
On rare occasion if I'm sitting on my butt all day and not working up a sweat I may go 36 hours and very infrequently 48 but again, that's cool weather with no serious exertion
The first submarine I served on was a another story. We regularly had fresh water issues and there were times I went 3-4 weeks between showers. "Bird bath" in a sink was the best we could do.

Welcome aboard George! I remember using the outhouse at my aunts house as a kid. I was a teenager when my mom announced that aunt Ida had got plumbing in her house. I guess I need to quit griping that the water doesn’t get hot fast enough in the kitchen.
