What the hell is with people using Axe soap? :confused:

Lever 2000 FTW.

Although last night when I showered, I was lazy and just used the shampoo for my whole body, lol.

I had a manager who told me he used to use Pantene Pro-V as soap because he loved the smell of it so much. Apparantly, his girlfriend thought he smelled fantastic.

And I use bar soap. I've used soaps that I've gotten as gifts that aren't bar soaps, but I prefer the bar. I feel cleaner afterwards.

Hehe, I can agree with that. Hell, use whatever kind of soap you want, but please don't buy into that Axe marketing BS. For every girl out there that thinks axe smells good on a guy, there is another girl who thinks guys should NOT smell like a gay rodeo.

I really don't care how much bacteria is killed as long as I don't smell and I feel clean.

Both...bar for casual days and gel soap when I'm actually concerned about how I smell :p

Plus, I find that gel soap takes longer to apply and rinse off, so just bar soap if I'm in a rush.
