Grooming and Hygiene

@Matt Malin+Goetz one is fresh, they also make my favourite daily Fragrance, Vetiver.

Maybe I have Synaesthesia, but I've always felt it just complemented denim exceptionally well.

[Matt]

@T4920 I’ll try that. I like vetiver.

[T4920]

@Matt it's quite smokey with some nice warmth from the celery seed notes. Subtle and intimate though, perfect for daily wear imo

A day drinking and cooking outside led to myself and two friends dying our hair blond.

Don't ask why, ask why not.

Looks like the The Corinthian from Sandman. It’s not bad.

So I’m trying to transition to a more natural deodorant; I’ve tried a few; salt & stone and malin + goetz to name a couple. Keeps me fresh for an hour or two but after that I’m smelling… err… too “natural”. Are my Mediterranean pits only to be tamed by aluminum? Anyone else running into this? I’d like to say it’s a health conscious concern but honestly looking to reduce pit stains on my nicer white Ts

@flannel-slut I’ve been using Native deodorant for a while and been pleased with the effectiveness. Haven’t noticed any pit stains either Good luck in the search

[Matt]

@flannel-slut the natural deodorants work pretty well for me. I consider myself to be of a Mediterranean stink as well. The trick I’ve found is to never buy the same one twice in a row. If you use the same thing for too long you can build an immunity. The Malian+Goetz works well for me and I really love the Corpus scents. My go to pomade brand, Shear Revival makes a good one. Dove for Men makes a nice aluminum free deodorant. I’ve stayed away from brands like Native due to the high coconut oil content and fear of pit stains.

[SKT]

@Matt is the coconut oil responsible for pit stains or is it bad for another reason? Always ready to learn something new here

[Matt]

It’s my understanding that the oil can stain pits. I regularly google “Beat Deodorants” to see what’s on the lists from various online sources. The ones with coconut oil always list that as a “con.” When you where $100 T-shirt’s you tend to take fewer risks.

@Matt “beet deodorants” would have hit harder…but sounds disgusting .

[Matt]

Best. Sorry.

[Matt]

Sometimes I feel like just letting auto correct go without correcting it. Mad gibberish.

[flannel slut]

Good stuff @Matt @SKT. This forum has been a go to for a lot more than just awesome denim

[flannel slut]

Also beet deodorant might be what I need to combat the humidity. pink pit stains would be pretty wild.

[SKT]

@Matt I’m down with this…you should see some of the nonsense I text my wife that she somehow understands. (Also, I might have a theory that “they” are making it harder for us to communicate by sabotaging autocorrect and phone keyboards, slowly driving us all mad and making it easier for the AI overlords to take over…again just a theory and I’m probably wrong).

@SKT The mere discussion of our AI overlords is implicitly forbidden on the forum and you will be contacted by security shortly for reeducation. Please do not resist nor make a scene.

Thank you for assistance in these matters.
