I don't get how it could possibly save water unless you are using time in the shower where you would just be standing there doing nothing. Getting wet only takes a few seconds, the rest of the time in my short shower is taken up by shampooing, shaving, etc.
For me, it would use A LOT more water to stand in the shower for two minutes with the water running while I brush than to turn the water at the sink on long enough to moisten my brush then rinse my mouth.
Now, I could see brushing while I'm standing beside the shower waiting for it to get warm enough to get in. That would save some water since I already have the water running, and would be an efficient use of time as well. Spitting into the drain of the shower rather than the sink wouldn't be a big deal to me.
Realistically though, I usually shower before I eat breakfast and wait to brush my teach until after I've eaten -so unless I'm leaving the house or seeing someone who might be offended by my morning breath before eating I should just continue as normal.
Boy that was a long answer for this topic! Can you tell I'm home with a sick child and bored?
