ObSongs:

The tingle of the scrubbing-brush, the flannel's soft caress --
To wield the lordly luffa is a joy I can't express.
How truly is it spoken what is next to Godliness
In the bath, in the bath!

-- Flanders & Swann

I hated showers when I was little, but they were all we had in the high school I went to, and I have regarded them as the normal way of bathing ever since. I have a bathtub in my apartment, but haven't used it yet.
