Very interesting how quickly people started discouraging basic hygiene. 🤔
Despite their convenience, a recurring expense in most households are rolls of paper towels - especially for young people who use them as an all purpose disposable for eating, cleaning, etc. You could eliminate this expense entirely with washable towels and rags.
I am a hypocrite though because I use paper towels to eat off of a lot so I don't have to do dishes.

If I shave without some sort of cream or gel I get really outrageous razor burn. It's also quite painful. I have no idea how it would make you more likely to hurt yourself but this definitely seems contrary to most people's experience.
Especially because even professional barbers who use a deft hand and a straight edge also still use shaving cream when they shave one's face.
My tap water at home sucks. If you run paper towel over the cold water, the paper towel turns brown within minutes. It also tastes pretty terrible. Using a water filter is the only way we drink our tap water.
It's annoying, because generally speaking, NYC water tastes great. But I guess because my building is old, my apartment has really bad tasting water.
Interesting! The last time I had a problem with razorburn or having nicks was back when I still used the stuff. I guess I should also add that I shave immediately after a hot shower.
Honestly everyone's skin is different. What works for you, works for you!
You're supposed to use mouth wash at times when brushing isn't convenient, like at work after lunch for example.
Telling people mouth wash is a scam is ridiculous, just teach them to use it fucking properly.
I feel like I need photos of the people in this thread and their homes before I accept their insane advice on hygiene.

This is correct. But people don't like the taste or whatever excuse they make. Only takes a couple of times to get used to it. Been doing this for years
Completely wrong. Water heaters now fail under around six years. Cost-cutting/competition has reduced quality.
Rent your water heater, have a basin under it, if it breaks it won't cost you a cent.
edit: It's 9-10$ a month here, people paying 30 a month are getting scammed.
If you do it wrong.
Flouride mouthwash is good and allows you to properly rinse everything out after brushing and then getting fluoride back in. If you just brush then either you have to not rinse (gross) or rinse and have no lasting effect. Mouthwash solves that problem.
Mouthwash with alcohol is bad though.
I mean if mouthwash does no good then people might as well come to terms with flossing also not doing any good if you already brush your teeth well enough.
Shh, Americans are not yet ready for the truth about flossing.
I've had mine for 8 and it's still going fine, wouldn't say "completely wrong" is an accurate statement.
I have a high efficiency one that I bought out, by the time I had paid out the rental contract, I had already paid 2x its actual value... so, not cheaper.
Huh ? Dentists recommend mouthwash all the time for people who have or might have gingivitis.
'Flossing alone will get rid of gingivitis' is what no dentist ever said.

Mine did and I'm currently using one one right now to treat it. Avoid Alcohol mouthwash.

Yeah, apparently! I started doing it after reading an article about how shaving cream actually made all those problems worse, but apparently the writer just had skin like mine and made assumptions.
I use kitchen scissors all the time so not those. Cutting open packages, cutting herbs, and cutting apart a chicken or snipping off excess skin & fat. I could use a knife but the scissors are better.
These are needed in dry climates or you basically develop super powers with how much static electricity you'll have coursing through your clothing.
Toilet paper. You don't need it. Just let the shit cake on your ass. It'll come off on your underwear anyways.
One time, my dentist commented on my teeth being better than the last couple of times and the only thing I'd changed was that I stopped using mouthwash.
Dentist need you to have bad teeth and mouth problems to make a living.
Think about it
You spend money on underwear? Well la de da aren't you fancy.
There are medical mouthwashes that are supposed to be used after brushing. My dentist prescribed me an antiseptic mouthwash to use after a recent deep cleaning below the gum line and I'm supposed to use it for 30 seconds after brushing and not rinse it out or eat/drink for 30 minutes after.
This is nonsense unless you have the facial hair of a fourteen year old boy.
