'Modern' soaps, shampoos and deodorants - they're mainly chemicals and most often than not contain Parabens that are definitely not good for you [1] Barber/Salons - Since the last year, with the help of a trimmer, 3 sizes of scissors and a mirror, I have learned to cut and trim my own hair and beard. There is a pretty steep learning curve to begin with, with some embarrassing results, but once I was past that, it became ridiculously easy. Toothpaste - Brush twice a day, sure. But, you don't need as much toothpaste as advertising tries to convince you. Again, over the last year, I've reduce the amount of toothpaste I use to 1/8th of what it used to be and I haven't noticed a decline in dental quality or my breath. There are many more that come to mind - reading the newspaper (it's an archaic habit and only adds further cognitive load in a world where we are saturated with news), hot water for baths, a cot to sleep on, online shopping.
