Can anybody here get away with just wearing DEODRANT?

I only wear deodorant, antiperspirant isn't good for you, your skin needs to breath and sweat.
Speed stick deodorant is probably my favorite. Regular or Musk. It is effective, inexpensive, and does not irritate like many antiperspirants can.
I've been using the Walmart cheapo Brut deodorant last week or two. Love the scent and working fine for now, we'll see after things warm up a bit.
You American's should share the Speed Stick Musk Eh! I miss that stuff up here!
I used a certain brand of antiperspirant once and noticed the same thing. Its been several years ago and I forget what it was, but yea... it was like it triggered the sweat glands. I've used nothing but a Crystal stick for at least the last five years and love it.
I found the Old Spice 'Amber', and it was great! But as soon as I bought one, it seems to have disappeared. They seem to go through an awfule lot of scent and name changes. Why can't companies just settle on something anymore! Too much constant change!
Can't just do the deodorant down here. Sweating from the pits is healthy but not when it runs in floods.
Lafe's natural crystal rock deodorant. It's 100% potassium alum the same as alum block, so I use it as a part of my post shave routine and then my pits killing two birds with one stone. It gives you zero body odor as a deodorant.

Whenever I see Lafe's, I cant help but think of Lafe Crick, Jed Clampett's acquaintance from back home. I don't think he used deodorant.
Would make a great screen name and Avatar lol!
Only ever used deodorant. Speed Stick Regular mostly, although I have tried other SS scents and other brands, I always come back to Speed Stick.
As mentioned above there was a formula change awhile back removing the triclosan... This reduced the effectiveness a bit.
I have never been one to sweat heavily, so deodorant does the trick for me.

Found this at work today, a whole skid full! Maybe they reckon the College kids stink too much? 
I use Original Old Spice or Speed Stick (currently Musk) deodorants.
I sweat like crazy regardless of what I use, and many anti-perspirants really irritate my armpits but most deodorants don't.

I just use alum crystals, they work pretty great.
Deodorant only here, for at least the last 20 years. I read somewhere that the aluminum salts in the antiperspirant can clog your pores and actually make you sweat more. I use Dove for Men on days when the heat is higher or I'm doing yard work. At the office I use Crystal Deodorant in the liquid pump (not the hard stone or the roll on).
I use an alum block occasionally.
I didn't read the whole thread.
I trim back my pit hair with a blending guard on my hair clipper. Its extremely short but not enough to be irritating or scratchy. I use Thai Crystal Deodorant stone. That's it. I can go several days without showering and not have any pit odors. I usually shower daily but I love the Thai Crystal. My underarms don't feel goopy or sticky and no stains on my shirts plus it works. The Thai Crystal also lasts me almost a year . The first one lasted a year till it got small and moved to shaving duty and the current on is on 8 months.
I like Dove Men Care+ deodorant (the blue or silver one) and right guard mirage. I don't think I've ever had an antiperspirant actually work. Just ended up staining clothes. I like the smell from deodorants over antiperspirant.
Razorock spray deodorant. Not much scent. But I am a big guy and my pits have been known to run off skunks. But this works all day to keep me stink free all day. http://www.italianbarber.com/collec...ucts/razorock-aloe-alum-spray-deodorant-120ml
