Noisome Deodourants

Gentle reader, pray tell me why so many men’s antiperspirants/deodorants are so utterly disgusting.

I mean… you do your duty to your fellow man by giving yourself a liberal blast of a morning or prior to going out and so on, only to spend the next five minutes gagging in an acrid cloud of spray that clings to your throat and nostrils, apparently burning its way through any membrane it clings to.

I’ve tried dozens of the buggers now and they all have that basic problem. Admittedly they settle down after a few minutes and become vaguely bearable (with the obvious exception of the entire Lynx range which is a form of chemical terrorism I can’t condone) but the application is an almost unbearable form of self-torture.

I’ve had to switch to a lady-spray instead.

Less than you though.

Anyway. Do it in another room and walk out immediately.
