I've been led to believe the daily shower is a mostly American thing.

Myself, I shower most days, but that's largely because I'm either in the gym or cycling most days. Sometimes, that means 2x showers, because I'll hit the gym in the AM and cycle in the PM.

Yes, American, indeed. It is a culture of the natives of the Americas to shower (swim in rivers) multiple times a day. Brazilian culture is highly influenced by that. We also brush our teeth multiple times a day.

Perhaps it's an "American thing" in the western sphere. My impression is that majority of Africa and Asia shower daily, many twice.
