Its been about 9 - 10 months since I last used a deodorant. It just sort of happened. I wasn't dating any one at the time, it was mid winter so not much sweating going on, and the dogs definitely didnt seem to care one way or the other and so i just said !&@$#* it, why bother using it, the stuff is total junk and probably not that good for you to begin with. Of course by the end of the day, even if others couldn't tell, self inspection revealed a bit of a scent!
It might be a becks induced imaginary situation, but ever since I started using Vinolia soap I have noticed a complete change....hardly any body odour at all,,,even on rather hot active days.
Now I am curious. Have any of you gents that use this soap noticed a similar change?

I can't say that I have actually tried to isolate this. I don't perspire as much under the arms unless it is either very hot outside (and I am outside) or unless I am doing something like running, sports or even working on the car washing it - like I know how to fix anything, lol.
I have noticed that my Mennen Speed Stick lately seems like it is still sticky and have had to take to using talc over the Speed Stick after 5 minutes of application. I may go to a cyrstal but I am tired of yellowing and have eliminated the aluminum and going with deodarants and not anti-perspirants.

I haven't tried an all soap solution, but I like the idea.
I switched to unscented deodorant/antiperspirant quite some time ago, and don't notice any yellowing on my T shirts. I like the Mitchum Gel myself.

Sam, In hot weather Speed Stick can feel a tad sticky upon application but I've found that that passes fairly quickly. To me, it's not a significent issue given the other virtues of the product. Regarding the Vinolia soap I can't say as I've noticed the special properties that Clive mentions but maybe I'm so used to it that I don't notice, or since I use Speed Stick anyway I've not noticed for that reason. But, in any case, it's still a damn fine bath soap although I would have prefered it if they'd left the formula alone.
Regards,
Gordon
