Been using it on my pits for yrs,same block I use on my face after every shave.
Nothing will stop the actual wetness long term,( maybe a couple hrs for me)
But it will inhibit the bacterial growth that causes B.O.

You've used it for several years? How much has it deteriorated? just wondering how many years a block typically lasts :)
A long, long time. I have a deodorant tube size that I've used for about three years now, and about half is gone. I used to use it on face and armpits both but have stopped using it on my face. I just didn't like the way it made my face feel, like I could never get it all washed off. I liked the astringency, though.Quote:

I think we do what we have to do to seperate our selves from animals, removing body hair, and not stinking.....
I did see this other stuff called "Life Stinks" it's a powdered deo, suppose to be better for you. I think it was developed due to people having surgery due to clogged glands in the pits from deo's. I could be wrong just kinda winging the info. from memory.
I use the "crystal" mineral salt block. Bought it in health food section of Kroger. It is supposed to be healthier than regular deodorant. It has worked well for me as a deodorant, but does not prevent perspiration. I have been using the same solid stick for about a year and probably have at least another few months of use before I'll have to buy a new one. Much cheaper in the long run compared to standard deodorants, and its better for you.
No, it's the other way around: alum works as a deodorant, but not as an anti-perspirant.
This- it inhibits sweating but doesn't absorb any odor.Quote:
