I did Navy showers for most of junior and high school, primarily because The Hunt For Red October is a dope-ass book and because I was into self-deprivation. Also my sister tended to use all the hot water so it was about my only option. The opposite of a Navy shower, for those that are curious, is a "Hollywood" shower. Or it least that's what Tom Clancy thought in 1981.

I've never taken a steam shower. I will say that steam rooms are absolutely my 100% favorite thing about russian spas. I could certainly be talked into this but there's a hint here:

    Please note that all showers carry a legionella risk.

...yeah but it's a lot easier to inhale legionella when it's a fine mist. There are more pragmatic solutions that the big boys like Kohler use when they do their ridonkulous waterfall showers.

Okay, you made me buy the damn Kira book.
