Same here. I am still on a stick that I bought 1.5 years ago for $8. You can't beat the price and performance.
Ive been on the crystal now for about 10 years and I love it. Picked up a KMF roll-on crystal a few months back but the jurys still out on this one. Also use the Brut deo occasionally when I layer on the good stuff
I have been using Degree for some time now. Used to be an Old Spice kind of guy (anti-persp & deo) but about 2 years ago I put some on and immediatley smelled like B.o. I thought maybe the stick was bad or i forgot to clean my pits in the shower, so I bought a fresh one and reshowered making sure to clean the pits fine. Upon sniffing out of the shower, pits smelled clean. I applied some Old Spice, and Ill be if it didn't smell like B.o. once again. Weird....
See the thing is you sweat MORE when you use antiperspirant. Because everything is prevented from coming out the result once it does is much worse than if you were using a deodorant. The body is supposed to sweat... so let it. Sort of merging thoughts from the old 'Dress like a gentleman' thread, but one thing I do to prevent the look is to make sure I always wear an under shirt. It truly makes a HUGE difference, plus my good shirts last much longer and look better.
I couldn't agree more! Besides, sweat itself doesn't smell. It starts smelling because of germs working in it after a while. Therefore I take a shower ever now and then, whether I need it or not. I prefer this way of preventing excessive odor instead of using chemicals to interfere with natural body functions like sweating.
I use the crystal deodorant as well it's natural and the crystal is suppose to fight the germs and bacteria. and welcome to The Shave Den sleslie
The one I've got is "Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal" I think I picked it up at Target. I'll second what many others have said. This is the only deodorant that works for me. It's cheap, safe, lasts forever and doesn't gunk up your Tshirts. I work in an environment that regularly reaches 115 degrees and I SWEAT (but I don't stink)
Shave/Trim your pits. The pit hairs is where the bacteria builds up and mutates. Then you'll be able to ditch the anti-perspirant The best Crystal deo is the one that comes in a Rock format. the Kiss My Face crystal-deodorants are full of chemicals, including phenoxyethanol
Then may be you can tell me where I can buy Williams Ice Blue Deo Stick? I live in Norway (and can't read France)
