1. Mitchum
I sweat a ton, and it's gross. Mitchum's the only commercial antiperspirant that comes close to working on me.

I don't sweat during normal daily activities. If I go jogging or skate or lift weights I take a shower afterwards.

57. I use a mineral salt stone, too. It works great and lasts forever. I can't imagine why anyone
would buy any manufactured deodorant if they've ever tried a stone.

58. 6 months? Mine last years. Maybe I use a larger one. It does come from
Thailand, too, though.

It comes in a little basket.

I haven't dropped the latest one.

35. Old Spice...because I like the snappy, whistled tune...
...and because they stopped making Hai Karate years ago.

(I still have several "Bob Newhart" ties in my closet too.)

44. I don't suffer with BO, but I use just a touch of Secret every morning after a shower. Just a dab.
I like the smell of it. I go through a Secret "stick" about every 6 months.

51. Yes. I skip the perfumes and just shower 2 times a day. I love the scent of being clean.
I don't like heavy perfumes.

I prefer a very clean scent with a touch of Secret Powder Fresh.

50. I use the same, but normally only on weekends.
During the week, I look for perspiration-minimizers which unfortunately means Degree in my world. Secret (STRONG!) for women doesn't keep me dry at all. Just my experience. Degree? I'm completely comfortable.

Sometimes, during the week, I switch around and use the JASON. So far, no one has complained. :-)

It's very refreshing. I do have sensitive skin, though, and have to be careful with it. In my case, using it right after shaving is a no-no. I have to give it a little time. It's funny (and sad) that the corporate brands DON'T irritate me after shaving. I don't think it's anything they have done, in particular. I think it has to do with the essential oils of the organics being a little too much for sensitive skin after shaving. Just my experience.

I can't do any anti-perspirants, and many deodorants (even the organic ones) give me a rash.

60. Man, you people must not stink like I do.
I swear I have about a 20 minute window when I get out of the shower until I start to stink, heh. I use Secret Clinical Strength which is $10 a stick and lasts about a month, and I STILL smell. I eat a lot of garlic and onions so maybe that's why, I don't know. I don't smell, like wafting away from me or anything, you could be standing right next to me and you wouldn't smell me, but it's definitely there, believe me. Some day, I'm going to find the deoderant that actually works for me and I'm going to do a dance of joy.

And don't suggest brands to me, I have tried every commercially available anti-persperant/deoderant on the market. I have 10 in my closet at any given time. :eyes:
