      Yup! This AKT stuff is nice. Love the smell of the “After Thunder.” Cedar is probably my favorite aroma in general so this is lovely.

        Glad you like it. It’s the most effective 24 hour deodorant I’ve ever used. With traditional deodorant I start smelling bad same day. Same with the common natural options. With this I’m good until day 2. I know I sound like a plant but after accepting my fate as a smelly guy this stuff has been a true revelation

          Still waiting for mine to get here, but cedar/hinoki is among my favorites too @Mizmazzle . Looking fwd to this even more now.

            Alright I have both After Thunder and Orange Grove now and they both smell so good I want to wear ‘em as cologne. @Matt many thanks my friend for introducing me to this stuff. The forum always delivers

              @Matt you have got so many of us using it now, you should think about adding a disclaimer in case we all start growing nipples out of our armpits and that you will not held be held responsible.

                    @Matt now I’m curious about those Fulton & Roarke smelly sprays you mentioned. We went to this natural botanical perfumery when we were in Ireland. They made everything on site from botanicals native to the Burren area we were in. Really cool but still a bit too female purfumey for my tastes. Looking for something kinda like the AKT scent profile in a cologne type thing.

                    Those solid fragrances look interesting.

                        @Mizmazzle the Cult Favorites Discovery set is a good place to start. I got the full discovery set and saved the ones I liked. I think the Cult Favorites are all included in the ones I saved.

                          I just ordered the Cult Favorites Discover set for funsies (since @Matt's AKT rec seems spot-on) . For beard oil, I like Apothecary87 Vanilla and Mango ... your results may vary of course. 😀

                            @Matt think I’ll give it a shot. Looks to be what I’ve been after.

                            @anodyne Wish I could grow a beard worthy of some type of oil…it would just make the skin patches that don’t grow in look shiny. Then I’d have to put the AKT on the shiny patchy spots to reduce shine.

                                Don't want to spoil the party, but I thought it might be helpful to say that I don't think the AKT deodorant is that great for me.

                                pros:

                                • works well against sweat
                                • smells good (got the grey)

                                cons:

                                • is applied with the hands, which then smell all day long. I hate that.
                                • it‘s fucking expensive
                                • the tube cap is difficult to handle

                                I‘ll stick with my Speick.

                                    At least your complaints aren’t related to its performance. Just you being fussy.

                                      Now they sell a gua sha applicator to avoid this (also fucking expensive 😂 )

                                        I agree it’s very expensive. Personally I don’t mind the size of the cap or having to use my hands. I don’t notice a lingering smell on my hands. I don’t even wash them after and it doesn’t bother me. I don’t find the smell to be overly present throughout the day. The lack of sweat and BO is the best I’ve ever experienced in any deodorant I’ve used so I can live with the price.

                                        But I appreciate your opinion. Nothing is for everyone. Except Wu Tang.

                                            day two and completely agree. Even after washing my hands twice they still smell, which isnt a problem at all, until I start eating food like grapes or something one eats with their finger tips or even drinking coffee/tea in the morning where fingers are close to the nose.

                                            Gonna buy a bamboo applicator tool rather than their ridiculous from akt, because otherwise enjoying this stuff. I can't tell though if it's noticeably strong to other people or if it's just being on my fingers. Don't like things to be too strong for other people who are sensitive to smells.
