5 Men's Grooming Mistakes That Are EASY to Fix | Men's Grooming Tips

[@BrockMcGoff]

IMPORTANT: Several people have (correctly) pointed out that brushing your teeth immediately after certain foods/drinks, especially really acidic stuff, can harm your enamel. To be safe, it's always a good idea to rinse your mouth out after coffee, citrus, etc., then brush (lightly) about 20-30 minutes later. Good looking out, everyone!

[@lmTheGod]

wow i had no idea, thank you!

[@msl5131]

Where's your sunscreen? That should be #1. Also, bad advice to brush right after coffee; the acid in coffee should be rinsed by drinking water & waiting 30-60 minutes to prohibit the washing away of acid softened tooth enamel. Fact check it.

[@BrockMcGoff]

If I'm going to be outside during the day, I use a moisturizer with SPF on my face. Just depends on the day.

[@juliojimenez6286]

What happens the day we are not suppose to use shampoo? Use only water? I work in a very harsh enviroment (construction) and with all the dust and debris, with only water i still feel dirty.

[@BrockMcGoff]

Try using just a little bit of shampoo. I'm okay with only water, but if you still feel like your hair is dirty, you should use a little shampoo. You can also switch to a natural shampoo that doesn't lather.

[@juliojimenez6286]

Thanks for your answer! I Will try yo use less shampoo; regarding the natural one, i will look for one. But its difficult to leave the menthol and peppermint ones, i feel like a exude energy after a cold shower with one of those. Awesome Chan el BTW, i will stay in tune for more content.

[@stellarVoid123]

i actually only wash it with water.. quit using shampoo after getting tired of how greasy and nasty my hair would look after 1 day. Now my hair looks ok all the time, no need for shampoo.

[@alexanderashok5445]

hey is using coconut oil everyday good

[@cswann8]

Hi Brock....just discovered your channel and I'm really enjoying it and learning quite a bit. I have a question I'm hoping you can answer. I just picked up a used Seiko SARB065 (Cocktail time) watch. It included the black Seiko strap as well as a couple of Navy Blue lizard print straps which I really like a lot. What belt/shoe colors will compliment the navy watch strap best? Or at least what belt/shoe colors should I avoid? TIA

[@jayros539]

Do you know any good unscented deodorants that aren't antiperspirant?

[@BLAZE084]

Great tips! Will try and get my hands on that 5 in 1, thanks!

[@bleukreuz]

What do you think about using mouth wash instead of brushing after every staining food/drink? I'm paranoid about receding gum line

[@CurtissWu]

Great video, nicely made!

[@martinmoore8216]

Excellent tips. Thank you. There are some routines I can change and improve. M

[@sergiomontes5534]

do they sell aqua velva at stores like Wal-Mart or only online!!??

[@BrockMcGoff]

I think it's at a bunch of different stores now.

[@sergiomontes5534]

The Modest Man. ok thank you ill check it out

[@shamfams]

What shampoo do you use?

[@BrockMcGoff]

+Samuel Pham currently testing out Control GX by Just for Men...

[@davdgola]

It's actually best to brush before a meal (especially breakfast). Brushing after can cause increased wear and abrasions of the teeth. Much better to brush before and reduce the amount of bacteria in the mouth from sleep.

[@thatoenguy62]

Wont lie, I dont have the time (and a bit lazy) for brushing after coffee. It doesnt help that I drink between two and six cups when at work. In its place I try to have gum on hand. Obviously gum designed to clean/protect teeth, and of course remove it before leaving my work space. I noticed you shaved after you showered. How bad is it to reverse that and shower after shaving? It's prob. not the best idea but I find it relaxing.

[@BrockMcGoff]

I shave before showering sometimes...no big deal. Some guys find that their skin is softer and easier to shave after showering. With the electric shaver, I don't really see a difference. Traditional shave seems easier after showering.

[@MasculineStyle]

Feeling self conscious about teeth-brushing frequency now...

[@BrockMcGoff]

For reals.

[@joshuagwynne3090]

How do you prevent your deoderant and antiperspirent from staining your clothes?

[@BrockMcGoff]

+Josh Gwynne I try to wear undershirts with sleeves, as opposed to tank tops.

[@andrewclark6822]

The intro music was catchy!

[@BrockMcGoff]

+Andrew Clark thanks! Started using a new music library.

[@mikeacord5329]

Great tips! Good ol Aqua Velva! Haven't tried the 5 in 1 but I've been hearing about it more and more recently. Will give it a try. Enjoy your videos!

[@gusherfelter1068]

First of all, I love the new look! You are rocking it! The deodorant mistake, I have a strong body odor when I sweat, so unscented does not work for me, but it really depends on the body type! I need to use a strong or firm deodorant spray to keep the sweat away, but I do add fragrance that can compliment the spray, other wise it can be indeed overpowering. Other than that the tips are on point!!

[@BrockMcGoff]

Thanks man! Excellent point, as always.

[@hamsterminator]

Hey man, just come across your videos. Wish I knew half of this stuff ten years ago! Also love the fact you look like a normal guy, not a model. Hate styling vids where the guy steps out the shower and runs his hand through his hair and it's instantly all in place!

[@BrockMcGoff]

Right on, thanks for watching!

[@c0t556]

hamsterminator “also love the fact you look like a normal guy, not a model”... what’s that supposed to mean? Is that even a compliment?

[@vedantajain5528]

donkeyenvious no I think he just means that it’s finally nice to see a men’s style video where the person doesn’t have perfect hair skin the second they wake up. I’m pretty sure he means this is more relatable and helpful to us average guys. Or at least that’s what I got out of his comment...

[@itsallgone5077]

Hey Brock, I recently sent you an email about which sunglasses looked best on me with photos. Did you get that? If you did could you please respond? Thanks!!

[@danlopez6960]

I've tried not shampooing every day and not using too much shampoo but if I use a dime sized amount of shampoo I get no suds (with a million different shampoos from cheap to expensive to all natural, etc) and it ends up not cleaning my hair well. Also if I don't shampoo every day my hair gets really oily and grooming products don't work well. Any suggestions for someone in my situation?

[@BrockMcGoff]

Have you tried this for at least a week? Sometimes it takes your hair/scalp a little while to adjust to a new routine. You can also try a dry shampoo during the adjustment period.

[@gentwithin]

Great tips here!

[@spinakker14]

I haven't used shampoo in the past 6-7 years - instead I use baking soda. And everybody is complementing my hair! I have to add that I let my hair grow into a medium long, majestic mane, so it's quite a spectacle (I'm male), but my point is, no one has told me my hair is dirty or greasy. So you don't have to be afraid of losing anything by using less shampoo, or none at all (provided you still take care of your hair in other ways)

[@Ayush-io8xi]

he uses Tiege & henley hair shampoo and conditioner!

[@israelmondragon6195]

i dont think i can stop using old spice becuz i really like it lol

[@BrockMcGoff]

+Israel Mondragón haha I feel you!

[@pedronunz]

Hey B! really like your videos, I think it is ok for you to go for the short guy thing, but I find your channel good for everyone. Your tips are great for the average guy that never thought it needed to know these stuff. You are indeed a modest man (in the good way). I Just really wanted to give you a big UP because I was one of those guys that will never follow a "beauty vlog". By the way, I found you trough your watches videos, witch are very good. I think you should consider branding out for another average/modest man interests, because i just think you are a great communicator! keep up the good work.

[@tmdoxie]

Ehhhh. I realize that I will totally be in the minority here, but I'm a big believer in having a proper skin care routine. And that starts with washing your face with proper face wash. Something gentle and non-foaming. I actually don't wash my face in the shower. I stand facing away from the shower with my head titled up slightly so in the event that I'm cowashing or washing my hair with shampoo, none of it runs on my face. I'm never going to use any kind of 5-in-1 product. Huge red flags going off here. At the very least, we need to be washing our face, using some kind of toner, moisturizer, and SUNSCREEN. Also, curly headed dudes, don't towel dry your hair, use an old t-shirt instead.

[@BrockMcGoff]

See my recent skin care routine video. We're on the same page there!

[@jihoonlee3272]

good looks modest man

[@FalknerBlitz00]

Dime size? Quarter size? oh shit, I've been doing it wrong all this time....I dump like a handful of the stuff on my head......

[@ryanlee354]

Yeah but my hair is so fine that if I put putty in it when it's dry I actually can't get it into my hair. It has to be wet or else I ant get my fingers through.

[@BrockMcGoff]

Have you tried something that spreads more easily, like a cream?

[@ryanlee354]

The Modest Man I haven't but i'm afraid if i use a cream it won't give me the hold of a putty. My hair is so fine it literally has no body to it

[@bleukreuz]

Ryan Lee I have fine straight asian hair and personally I swear by mousse or any volumising product put in with damp hair, then blow dry it while shaping it, follow it with a tiny amount of shaping product (putty might work, just make sure you rub it between your hand until warm) and finish by hairspray to set the style... This should give you more body to your hair, however you can add a bit more of the shaping product for a more slicked back look...

[@mr.rockycena4524]

After watching this video I actually realise how dirty I am lol .

[@gabrielpadurean3898]

nice

[@charlesgregory6016]

but my hair smells, looks oily and i notice more hair loss if i dont wash my hair daily

[@BrockMcGoff]

You should keep doing what works for you!

[@JidtapadTK]

I'm kind of wash my hair using shampoo everyday because my head overproduce an oil. Once I start using shampoo every other day, dandruffs come to me very quickly. 😹

[@CoachAidenH]

0:54 Pete and Pedro

[@BrockMcGoff]

Nice spotting!

[@CoachAidenH]

You Have Great Taste Good Sir! Keep Up the Fantastic Work! Love Your Videos!

[@ScottEmbler]

Do you shave your chest????

[@BrockMcGoff]

Haha...no need to.

[@AGentlemansJourney77]

Hey whoa now...where's cologne applications now? >:( HAHAHAHAHA

[@BrockMcGoff]

If only I had made this video AFTER our collab...

[@AGentlemansJourney77]

The Modest Man *siiiigh* :D

[@deanchristensen4783]

You forgot about your feet and hands, Brock. Men often neglect those parts of their bodies yet they're tell another person alot.

[@XxAlex530xX]

You are suppose to get a dental cleaning every six months as well for anyone who doesn't go to the dentist

[@heliobessa9894]

when you brush your teeth imediately after drink even water you ruin they.

[@georgiivanov61]

Using a face moisturizer as a cologne lol...

[@waksibra]

shampoo once a weak is enough.

[@MelroyvandenBerg]

Deodorant should be put the day before (evening), not on the same day. Read the sticker ;)..

[@BrockMcGoff]

+Melroy van den Berg ?

[@MelroyvandenBerg]

Yes? Depending on the deodorant. If you have antiperspirant deodorant, it's more effective if you apply it at night before bed. Just a random link of many: lifehacker.com/apply-antiperspirant-at-night-for-maximum-effectiveness-1570562830

[@Apolto6000]

Wtf you're so lucky that little antiperspirant is all you need, I sweat sooooooooo much so easily. I put on a decent amount of strong anti perspirant and it does almost nothing

[@julianrivera1973]

What are the chances that you, Jose Zuniga, and Aaron recommend the same product as well as mention the fact that it reminds you of your grandfathers.

[@BrockMcGoff]

Pretty high, considering the fact that we all work with the same marketing agency (which Aaron co-founded). As far as the mention of our grandfathers, I didn't watch Aaron's or Jose's videos yet, so that wasn't intentional. I guess lots of grandpas used Aqua Velva!

[@831nightmare]

I dont thing Aqua Velva 5 in 1 smells good and it's too strong of a smell

[@Entropy10101]

You lost me at Aqua Velva.

[@Enzo-Zky]

Air drying your hair is bad for your hair

[@BrockMcGoff]

+Benzon Rodriguez care to explain?

[@Enzo-Zky]

When you use a blower you damage the outside of your hair but when it air drys the moisture goes inside the roots and the actual hair therefore damaging it more

[@Enzo-Zky]

But love your channel I love the content you put in I just wanted to say that

[@danieliger]

Benzon Rodriguez Benzon Rodriguez when you air dry your hair, you are actually doing nothing at all to your hair. You can't damage your hair by doing nothing to it.
