Why I Do The Points Guy Shower Test

If you’ve been following along on my vlog adventures you know that one of the first things I do when I get into a hotel is The TPG Shower Test. I'm six foot seven. I know, I say it all the time, but I need to say it in order to do my job! Basically, if I can fit somewhere, 99.9% of you all can too. But it's not just about height... it's so much more. ROLL TAPE!

Water pressure is my pet peeve. Also, Paul Mitchell's Lavender Mint is the best. Happy trails to you...

I’m with you about towels. However, in Italy wash cloths are paper thin and don’t exfoliate anything but if you ask they do have thicker ones that Americans are used to. I learned about that in a better hotel when we initially had thicker wash cloths but after the first room service was done we had the thin wash cloths.

I’m with you on the strong smelling products! The give me a headache! I’m 5’10” and I have had that problem. Thankfully over the years they have been moved up!! My problem with towels is the size and how many they put in a room. One is ok for my husband, but I also need a hair towel. My hair is waist length so I need two bath size towels! 😂😂 Have a Blessed Day!!

Nice

Love the TPG shower test. Whilst the BA Heathrow showers need a serious refurb, I will give them some defence and say that there is a handle you can pull upwards which moves the entire shower unit up higher. So hopefully next time you try it, it might be a pass :)

I started asking for handicapped rooms as they usually have adjustable/hand held shower heads that I can adjust to any height I want. Perfect...just 6.1 here, but I cant stand most shower heads. Thanks for the test video, that was great.

Vertically enhanced people 😂 I really hope this becomes part of the American lexicon

6'3 here, which I suppose is at the upper end of normal height, but to some extent I can feel your pain.

[@dennisdalessio8238]

Brian, I really enjoy your Shower Tests. Being 6' 5" I understand the need for a high shower head. Thanks

6’4’’ here, I feel your pain
