Poll: Men! Choose your Favorite Axe Spray!

[moshineko]

I don't understand, why would I spray my axe?

Rustproofing, obviously.

We can get it done for you under $500, and if you don't do it, prepare to interrupt every Viking massacre with half and hour of looking for a piece of clean felt.


Also, love the "teen desperation" line. Pretty much Axe smells like what you'd smell like if you just didn't shower, and you'd been having lots of man-on-man action of some nature. Wrestling? Perhaps. Anal intercourse? Maybe. Why take the chance, ladies? Just shun them all.

...What is this "deoderant" you speak of?

Ya, I'm nasty, I barely wear doederant.

I do have a brand of Axe though, can't be assed to know what type it is.

There's a reason my middle/high school gym classes utilized "Axe bombs." It smells worse than you do before you put it on.

I generally stick to things along these lines.

Axe? also known as Lynx in the UK, or "liquid teenage desperation" to most.

Lynx tried an advertising campaign on my universiy campus by setting up shop in the student union foyer. They had a scantily-clad woman who basically posed with young men walking into the union inside a wooden hut they'd set up, and a photo taken. The Feminist Society and the Student Executive kicked up a fuss and the company was banned from advertising with us. Good riddance, I think, just because it was a really stupid idea for an advertising campaign...

I wouldn't spray Axe on my worst enemy.

Lol, thanks for the laugh! But really, I don't like the smell of Axe. I prefere um... that other stuff. Irish Dance? Irish Spring? Irish Solstice? Or sometimes Old Spice, but not always. Or that other one that smells like shaving cream. Oh also, I'm talking about soap, cause I don't wear calogne or body spray.

I don't think Axe has DOUBLE-SUN POWER.

You fool that's OLD SPICE B.O. BLOCKER BODY WASH!

I may use the body washes (but I use men's version of Dove and stuff)
but the body sprays are really kinda useless cause the best it'll do is make a girl say, "oh you smell nice"

 

[Nifarious]

Axe IS really bad.
However, when my deodorant of choice went out of commission, I found that Dark Temptation deodorant was the best thing out there. It's actually good...let's just call it my dirty little secret.

[Callate]

I choose... Not to smell like a wet ferret that's run through the wrong aisle of a deparment store, thanks.

 

[Kasawd]

I use vice anti-perspirant. I enjoy it's scent.

My choice of cologne, though, is Stetsons Black.

 

[Sn1P3r M98]

damn, all this hate for axe! I have to say, its not like i use these sprays as normal deoderant, i usually use them for after baketball games so i dont smell like total crap if I have to go somewhere before taking a shower. Didnt know so many people hated axe so much, but to each his own i guess.

 

[master m99]

for all us brits i belive axe is called linx over here. and i dont use linx personally so none =)

My favorite response to this kind of question in relation to deodorants or cologne:

Do you want to smell like $5 soap, or do you want to smell like you give a damn?

A decent bottle of cologne may run you anywhere from $40-$80 (or much more, but I wouldn't suggest that for daily use), and will last a remarkable length of time if you aren't dousing yourself with it. Typically a year or more. And once you have a smell or two that you like, stop getting in its way with stinky deodorant. Get something that does the anti-bacterial job that you need, and that doesn't have any scent of its own.

I've gotten most of what I know from discussions like this [http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3108653], but it would be pretty neat if we had some knowledgeable people over here speak out about what it takes to smell good.

Old Spice, since Axe makes me smell like I'm trying too hard.
