I recently discovered its use as a deodorant and I have been amazed at the results. Apparently, it can be used to style and hold your hair somewhat in lieu of pomade.

Ladies could use it on their legs after a shave.
It also helps to stop bleeding from small cuts, it burns like molten steel but does work very well!
