My anti-perspirent works too well

Axe is the only antiperspirant/deodorant personally endorsed by Gimli, son of Glóin, and that dude was all about proper hygiene.

Now me, I think it's vile overpowering smelling shit, but I'm not a fat dwarf with a ZZ Top beard who wears nine layers of armor and clothing, so take that how you will.
 
Ahh, thank you for that. I was wondering what it was and thinking I shoukd get some, but now I know its Lynx, I'll not bother!

To be fair to the RoJoHen, he uses the roll-on, and I'm sure that is not as detectable as the spray. probably completely different, especially if you don't decide to swim in it like my neighbour does. I think he must spray it from head to toe... :lol:

Yeah, it's a lot less brutal than the spray.

And remember, the only reason I bought it at all was because it was on sale. ;)
 
My downstairs neighbour uses it's British brand name Lynx, and you can still smell the stuff in the hallway in the evening, even though he passed through in the morning. :lol:

Lynx is another name for Axe. I usually use Lynx, though I prefer to not use any anti-perspirant unless I really need it, knowing how they work. Blocking sweat glands with potentially toxic metals :eek: No thanks.

I'm not saying its terrible you have it, just now I know what it is I don't need to look for it as I've tried it already.
 
50 % bicarb of soda, 50 % corn starch. Add some drops of tea tree oil for the anti-bacterial properties. There, you're done. A very good anti-perspirant.
 
Yep, I thought that's one I haven't tried before... glazed cherry on that, and we're probably good. :D
 
The other day I had to pick up some new deodorant, and I saw that the AXE sticks were on sale. 2 for $3. Not too shabby, considering the Old Spice I normally buy it about $4 for one. So I picked up the AXE stuff just to try it out, and I have to say, it works way too well.

It works so well that I cannot even remove it in the shower. It's waterproof or something. I have to scrub and rinse my armpits 3 times with soap before I can get it to come off! I mean, it's great because it's definitely keeping me dry when I sweat, but good lord.

Yeah, I tended to notice that. It's still not bad, though.

It's not the spray, which is godawful.
 
I use AXE and it's the only thing that works for me. No other anti-persperant comes close.


J.
 
Old Spice has worked fine for me all these decades. I'd rather not use something that doesn't come off-- kind of reminds me of Goldfinger. :wtf:
 
Yeah, I eh remember the time I tried out Lynx in school with my classmates... we used to hold a lighter in front of it, and scare the teachers with the massive flames... :lol:

Wow, and if you had gone to my school, you would have been automatically suspended and possibly arrested for attempted arson.
