A master without a deep soaking tub is, well, camping. I used to say no marble around the tub is camping, but that was until they came out with these great ergonomically perfect tubs, like this one in Ed’s Pathfinder listing/home.
Which reminds me of my biggest pet peeve: soaking tubs without hand-sprays. People, please, do not save $100 by skimping on the hand-sprayer. Serious bathers do not live by running water alone. You need the sprayer to rinse off hair, bods and clean the tubs. As my hero Joan Crawford would surely have said, NO SOAKING TUBS WITHOUT DIVERTER SPRAYS EVER!
As a long time deep soaker, I applaud your remarkds regarding the hand sprayer.
