Old Spice Endurance and Speed Stick (you get always get at least one in Haebangchon).

These two products are awesome - much better than Mitchum in my opinion. Since using these, my once tap-like pits are dryer than an outback sand pit.

Speed Stick sponsored the NBA - if it can work on enormous sweaty black men then chances are it will work wonders on skinny white ESL punks. I recommend Very Happy

In doling out my last few sticks from my stash, I thought I'd use a Right Guard Sport. Complete crap! Smelled about the same as if I'd been using nothing at all. So I got another Mitchum from the pile and all is good...

(Noting the packaging: "If you still have your baseball card collection, you're a Mitchum man.")

Mitchum is the 'rosetta stone' which unlocks the destinkification of my corporeal being. I mete it out greedily.

Use olive oil soap, preferably (in order of preference): 1. Lebanese and Syrian olive and laurel soap, 2. Lebanese and Syrian olive oil soap, 3. Savon the Marseilles and Greek olive oil soap (green), 4. Savon the Marseilles and Greek olive oil soap (tan).

It leaves this tiny film on your skin that makes it difficult for bacteria to grow. Deodorant is almost optional when you use these soaps.

Dove anti-perspirant deodorant (stick) is quite good. Usually buy mine at Exprss Bus Terminal Underground shopping area - many places stock it there - but have seen it at other locations as well.

If what you say is true, why is it, then, that the Greeks smell so offensive?

(Watch out now!)

Ok, don't have access to any of that. But I do use Clearasil facial wash on my pits (never on my face!) Helps a lot, but Mitchum is still necessary...

I used to use Mitchum, but it turned the armpits of all my shirts yellow. I switched to Tom's of Maine a few years ago, and that doesn't happen anymore.

I had the same problem until a few years ago, then a guy I was working with said it was probably due to applying too much pit-stick. After taking the advice, I haven't had a problem with yellow pits. Now I apply the deodorant liberally then wipe off the excess with TP to leave a thin film.
