I’m not arguing effectiveness, simply ease of use. A simple daily routine is much more resilient to schedule interruptions, and it’s important to have this be as easy as possible.
I do not believe I am advocating a complicated routine either. A rough face washer (or more specialized substitute) vs soap. Time difference and complication should be minimal.
Soap isn’t that bad. It’s not going to make that much difference either way if people prefer it. But that’s just the point—it isn’t important. (Deodorant is, for most people.)
Ah, I seem to have conflated your argument with the one that you linked to, referenced on Overcoming Bias, that suggests ‘sans douche’ days. For someone trying to internalize the practice of being clean, skipping days seems detrimental. I didn’t write this for the people that already know these things, but rather for the people that find them a mystery.

I definitely don’t recommend that. That’s crazy. I can’t see any benefit for occasional not bathing. Daily (or twice daily) is so much simpler.
