Trying a new method

Tonight one of my roommates informed me of his new approach to showering and how he felt that he was able to reduce his water use considerably. Tyler told me that if I could turn the water on to get wet, then subsequently turn the water on and off as needed to rinse off the soap I could minimize the amount of water consumed during my shower time. Even though I already only take 4-5 min showers, this method seems to allow me more time to really scrub and ensure I'm thoroughly washing rather than rushing through my showers to save a few gallons and maybe not washing as thoroughly as I could be. Tonight was the test for me and I'm definitely going to keep working with this method until I can get into a routine that works best for me.
