Thank you. You could have just given me the Siman/Seif. Anyway, I just went through it. It talks about not showering at all (similar to the Artscroll posted earlier), but doesn't say anything about taking less frequently than you normally do. I also want to clarify that this isn't something my Rav hasn't told me, I meant this is something I had never heard in HS or Yeshiva. I asked a friend who said he had heard of it, but said similar to other guys here that he didn't think it applied anymore saying that back then it really was a big deal for people to take showers/go to the bathhouse, but now we take showers every day, so a shower is not a big deal for us.

Look in the boxed section, he's talking about bnei chu"l and says that they shouldn't shower more than twice in the week
Not sure why it's so unclear. But look at that section in the pic cholent uploaded

Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Thank you. But, he's saying that "regular people who showed often because of "Taanug" shouldn't shower more than 2x per week, however an Istanis can." So my question is, do you shower daily because of Taanug? Because it's fun and pleasurable? Or because you get sweaty every day, your hair gets oily, etc.?

Why does cold showers have to be uncomfortable? Had to change my daughters brakes today and the cold shower afterwards felt great.
