100 Years In Men's Grooming Routines | Who Had It Better?

About this video

Centeno compares men’s grooming routines from 1920 to 2020, examining washing, dental care, shaving, deodorant use, and hairstyling practices across the century. He argues that while modern men have advantages in convenience and product variety, they’ve become lazy in several areas and often lack knowledge of proper grooming techniques that their great-grandfathers possessed.

Key takeaways

• Centeno argues that 1920s men, despite bathing only weekly, practiced diligent spot-cleaning and hand-washing, and modern men wash their faces and hands less frequently than recommended
• Centeno contends that dental care has improved dramatically due to marketing education, but modern men still underutilize flossing compared to brushing teeth
• Centeno recommends modern men return to safety razors and natural shaving products instead of multi-blade disposable razors, and emphasizes the importance of understanding shave mapping and using proper aftercare
• Centeno argues that modern deodorants and antiperspirants use questionable ingredients like aluminum, and he recommends natural alternatives with ingredients like lavender oil and aloe vera
