I like Old Spice Classic, at least I think that's what it's called. Not anti-perspirant, blue, comes in a stick. In my experience, it lasts longer than most, irritates my skin less, and women like the smell of it :)

I came in here to recommend this also. Old Spice Classic "Original Scent". I have received plenty of compliments on the smell :)

I used Axe Phoenix Dry for a while but I use the gel version now. I've tried a few deodorants and it's the only one that doesn't give me a rash. Old Spice was the worst offender.

Back in the US, I liked the Old Spice original scent anti-perspirant. The anti-perspirant in dry form was a bit hard to find sometimes.

Out here though, I had been having a hard time finding a deodorant. A few stores will carry the Gillette gel kind but I hate gels. It wasn't until recently that I actually took a closer look at the deodorant offerings and what I thought were the women's brand of small roll-on stick deodorant were actually men's deodorant. It's a liquid that rolls on using a ball, like a ball-point pen. This is the one that I have been using:

http://www.amazon.com/Nivea-Impact-D...f=pd_sim_hpc_1

Works pretty good and it dries quickly so it applies a lot better than the gels (which always just glommed on and never dried quickly) or the sticks (which always caked up and flaked). I don't think I ever saw these back in the States but would definitely use them from now one if I can find them.

EDIT: Deodorant version: http://www.amazon.com/Nivea-Silver-Protect-24hr-Deodorant/dp/B002JI6IG6/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

I think roll on deodorant fell out of favor in the US. It was pretty big in the 80s, but I haven't seen it as much lately; course I haven't been looking really hard either.

Before I needed to buy deodorant. I don't know why it would have fallen out of favor. In fact, what is the point of the gel crap?

... Great, now I have a shit load of deodorant links in my history for all my coworkers to wonder about.

I use degree. works well for me.

I get Degree Absolute Protection at Costco. 5 sticks for about $12.

Works very well for me.

HOWEVER, all youse folks are missing one very important thing...

The OP is a Canuckistanian...and with a name like Red Squirrel, he's probably a Frenchie...Soap and water would be a good first step. :p

Mitchum unscented roll-on. Works great for the wife, too.

Mitchum was markedly the best product tested in Consumer Reports.

I can confirm that it is indeed the best! Absolutely amazing how this stuff keeps you dry and stink free! :thumbsup:

Been using Speedstick Plus forever but it seems to be not as effective as before on me. Does one's body get used to a particular antiperspirant after a while and develops some kind of 'resistance'?
