   I’ve already given you my fave AXE shower products, so let’s move on to the rest of the bathroom business, shall we?

Laid Back Shaggy Look Cream - this is the AXE styling aid for me. Not that I’m a particularly shaggy dude, but this product actually holds my hair in place without looking like I shellacked it. If I need extra support I’ll pop in the pleasantly goopy Charged Spiked-Up Look Putty.

Antiperspirant vs. Deodorant - I know, I know, it’s a bit complicated. Here’s the deal: Deo is for keeping your pitties smellin’ righteous all day, even if you have to sweat it out a bit (eg. the gym). Personally, I opt to use Essence for this category. Pretty hard to go wrong when the logo is a picture of a unicorn colliding with a dragon. Fierce.

   Antiperspirant is a good choice if you want to keep the dreaded sweat pits at bay and stay high and dry. Examples: job interviews, walking around the city all day, a car ride with your friend’s older sister. For antiperspirant I opt for the Phoenix scent - it keeps your BO from rising up from the ashes.

Rise Body Spray - AXE has made a name for itself with body spray, so you know their stuff isn’t going to disappoint. There is a wide variety of scents, so I recommend experimenting a bit to see what fits you best. I’m a big fan of Rise. It’s new and very citrus-y: ladies will appreciate that you’re smelling fresh, but the scent is light enough that your girl won’t be choking on it.

Dark Temptation Body Spray - I give myself a double-pits-to-chesty with this puppy whenever I’m suiting up for a big time. This scent is the business if you want to smell like a boss for your entire night: from pregaming with the boys, to the bar with the ladies, to the late night eats and especially for those long “walks” home. For this reason, I have rechristened Dark Temptation with a new Al Halified moniker - Downtown Brown.

   That’s it for me and the rundown of the AXE family. What are YOUR favourite products? Hit me up on our Facebook group.

Me with Fever shower gel! The best kind of fever other than rheumatic.
