oh man...axe had a free sample booth set up on purdue's campus last year. my brother was in a dorm, and his entire floor and went and got a the little can free sample they were giving out.

they chose 4 people to go down to the very end of the second floor(they all lived on the third) by the stairs with some duct tape. they'd open a can, tape the spray button down and throw it down the hallway. there were about 60 bottles going on that one floor. you could barely see, and you sure as hell couldn't breathe.

that was awesome. good ol' axe bombs.

LOL I can tell I'm going to love college. It sounds just like my old high school.

One time me and my friend were waiting in the lobby to get picked up after track and the principle walked by. He asked us what grade we were in and we told him we were juniors so he said here. He handed us some trial sized shaving gel spray bottles. So we were like ok cool and we went back to talking. Until my friend figured out that the bottles squirted like 3 feet. So then he ran up and sprayed me with it. I of course went after him with mine. We ended up running out into the parking lot and battling for like 10 minutes until our ride came. When we got in my mom was like why the hell you you guys smell like cologne? Good times.

So...will your mom also be picking you up when your community college classes end? (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

Cool. I suspect you'll enjoy it, but remember you're also there to develop some sense of self-responsibility...and stuff.

Does Mitchum flake or rub onto clothes much? I fuckin HATE when the shit I put under my armpits rubs on my shirt.

Also, is it just a deodorant, or is it an anti-perspirant too?

I'm usin' the unscented stick. No flaking, goes on clear, it's really good stuff. Kind of expensive, but it's worth it. I forgot how good it worked until I started again a few weeks ago (the smell of the other things I was using was really getting to me).

 

[demon]

It's not such much that I'm worried about flaking, but it seems whatever deodorant/anti-persp I get, whether it be stick or gel, it rubs off on my clothes. I stopped using gel a long time ago because this one time I put on a really nice shirt after putting a bit of gel deodorant on my pits, and a couple minutes later I realized I had a couple big stains under my armpits that looked like I was sweatin like a mofo when it was really the fuckin gel.

 

[Lambtron]

There's none of that with the Mitch'.

 

[truesayian]

It's all about joop!

 

[ChrisReid]

Yeah, seriously. And as long as you do ANYTHING to your body to make it smell a certain way, such as using scented deodorant, you can't knock using cologne. The only difference between someone who uses a scented deodorant and someone who uses an unscented deodorant and a cologne is that the second guy smells a lot better, and for a lot longer.

Unless the stronger cologne is being smelled by a person who dislikes strong smells. To a lot of people, scented deodorant is good, but much stronger than that is sickening.

I have Tsunami and some other one, but my girlfriend said it was too strong. She preferred my Old Spice: Red Zone Deoderant and my Gilette After shave gel.

 

[chocoholic]

do any of you use axe voodoo or african amber, they are definately the best deodorants

 

[M3wThr33]

Voodoo. I think that was the other one. Is it a red and blue eye-shaped thing on it?

You may just be putting too much on. I try to put on as little as possible, and let it dry before putting a shirt on, which usually only takes a couple of minutes.

Yup, happened to me too-- that stuff ruined like 3 of my favorite shirts! It doesn't come out in the wash or at the cleaners, either-- there needs to be some "truth in advertising" amendment to compel the deodorant companies to inform us of this unfortunate byproduct of their wares...


But I started doing exactly what Mumbles suggested, and it seems to work...so far. I put less of it on, and I do so well in advance (10+ minutes) of slipping on my shirts. Sometimes I even give a gentle pat under the arms with a paper towel in order to remove any excess. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will continue to be an effective deterrent against those horrible pit-stains.

I once bought deodorant from the 99cent Only store and that was a colossal mistake of gi-normous proportions(!!!!!!). I figured deodorant is deodorant, regardless of where it originates from, and continued to where it every morning, not realizing the damage it was doing. At the end of the week when sorting my clothes for the wash I found that most of the dress shirts I bought just a week prior were horribly discolored and irreparable. Somehow, the deodorant lightened the hue of my dress shirt to another primary color *_*

making my insurrection purchase now... this thread lives on

 

[demon]

Just got the Insurrection in the mail and smelled it. It's a pretty vanilla-smelling scent that reminds me of quite a few other colognes I've tried, like Ignition by Lomani, although there seems to be more to it, or more "sophisticated" or whatever. I suppose I can see how chicks would like it. Doesn't seem great for casual wear, though.

 

[SlickWilly223]

I bought some Swiss Army online for $20, and it's been doing wonders. Excellent scent at work or in school. Thank you, demon.
