Wow only two posts about me and they were both positive.
damnit wonderchef why dont you shower?
in all seriousness there's a couple things that need to be addressed:
DEODORANT: oldspice and axe are both trash as are most mens' deodorants/antiperspirants. I dont even just mean the sprays, if it isnt a dry stick then it's typically alcohol based and just smells outright terrible. There are 2 antiperspirants that i endorse: 1) Speed Stick stain guard (either scent is fine, i prefer "fresh." unfortunately this may have been discontinued so it has forced me to get #2) and 2) Secret powder fresh (unscented. yes, this is a women's deodorant, but 1) it smells like baby powder, 2) It works, 3) It's like $1 for a stick where i buy it)
BODY SPRAYS SMELL TERRIBLE. It's not even just that it's a mask for scent, but what has become "manly" scents all smells like a middle school locker room now.
SOAP: Use it. not body wash, not substitutes, not axe, i'm talking regular white bar soap. scrub your whole body, not just your armpits or your front and back. wash your feet, your privates, your ass, your armpits, torso, legs, back, etc. Personally, if i could afford it i would get a ton of exfoliating oat and almond soap, Yardley makes a very good one, but Regular Dove or Olay take care of what needs to be done well enough.
SHAMPOO (for those with hair): Use it, but remember shampoo is not a soap, it is a detergent. that being said it technically doesnt clean your head, so you should use soap in your hair periodically. i know people think it's bad for you, but that's just a myth.
DENTAL: Unless you have sensitive gums, Medium is the optimal strength tooth brush because hard will wear doen your gums and soft doesnt clean well enough. This comes directly from my dentist. As for tooth paste, i'm of the opinion that it really doesnt matter what kind you use (i could be wrong on this, but i just use colgate Edit: i'm really not paying attention, i use crest peroxide and whitening, lol) so long as you use one. for white teeth brush consistently 3-4 times a day. if all you want is to be clean brush 1-2 times per day. BRUSH YOUR TONGUE. that's what causes bad breath, when bacteria grow and accumulate on the tongue.
that's all for now
