Axe/Lynx is for boys who haven't discovered there are better deodorants.

[–]orthag 11 points12 points ago

The stick deodorant and bodywash aren't bad. It's thst spray shit that smells like death.

[–]cowpunter 3 points4 points ago

The spray doesn't smell bad, but you aren't supposed to unload half the can on a daily basis. Of course it's going to stink if you concentrate it like that.

[–]AdjutantStormy 43 points44 points ago

Anything is a better deodorant. In fact, not using anything at all is a better deodorant.

[–]Monkey_Cannon 1 point2 points ago

Lynx is my favourite deodorant, my girlfriend convinces me to use it because she likes the smell, I don't see why everyone on the internet hates it.

[–]viper9172 14 points15 points ago

Because people use amounts larger than the death-cloud portrayed on this post and kill half the earth population

[–]SonOfDadOfSam 2 points3 points ago

Because those people have probably smelled more than one deodorant.

Take your girlfriend to a department store with a decent selection of fragrances for men. Have her pick out one or two she likes. Ditch the Axe/Lynx for an unscented deodorant. Apply fragrance as needed.

Some suggestions:

Armani - Code Creed - Green Irish Tweed A*Men - Pure Malt Terre D'Hermes YSL - La Nuit de L'homme

[–]Monkey_Cannon 0 points1 point ago

Yes but chances are they will cost more than a simple can of Lynx.. I use Lynx because it is affordable and out of all the cans at the shop she picked that one :-p

[–]SonOfDadOfSam 0 points1 point ago

They cost more, but if you don't use them every day and you use them sparingly, it's not really much more per use.

But, I guess if she likes it, it doesn't really matter what it smells like.

[–]TheAvocadoBaron -1 points0 points ago

I live in Japan and Axe is pretty much the only widespread deodorant available. What am I to do?

[–]Dstanding 10 points11 points ago

Shower.

[–]Gareth321 7 points8 points ago

Note to everyone confused and/or olfactorily inept: use a roll-on antiperspirant in the morning if you sweat. Then use a nice cologne. They're expensive, but they last forever, and they will get you laid.

[–]WildThang42 3 points4 points ago

Or better yet, skip the cologne. Make sure to take a shower and wear clean clothes. In my experience, girls prefer to smell clean body than something from a can.

[–]rabbitambulance 5 points6 points ago

Nice cologne doesn't come in a can.

[–]WildThang42 2 points3 points ago

Fancy bottle, whatever.

[–]Titaniumtyrant 1 point2 points ago

I don't understand why you cannot grasp the fact that you can shower and afterwords smell spiffy with a dash of cologne. Sigh

[–]JTDeuce 0 points1 point ago

It is because they use cologne incorrectly to mask the fact they didn't shower.

[–]WildThang42 0 points1 point ago

I'm saying that adding cologne does not help you smell better.

[–]SonOfDadOfSam 2 points3 points ago

It's all a matter of personal preference. Some women don't like any scent on a guy, whether it's sweat or a $200 cologne. But many women like it when a guy wears a scent. I think some of the negative reaction fragrances is due to the "Axe effect" (i.e. dousing yourself in a gallon of cheap deodorant). For example, my girlfriend claimed to really dislike any kind of fragrance. But when I first wore a sparing amount of a good fragrance, she told me how good I smelled. Since then, she's liked about 80% of the fragrances I've used.

I get a lot of compliments from women on how good I smell, and it's because I use just enough for them to barely smell it when they're near me, and I use quality fragrances, not drug store spray deodorants.

[–]Titaniumtyrant 0 points1 point ago

Well that's your personal view on cologne, but many people believe cologne smells good, true fact.

[–]ACSlater 7 points8 points ago

Axe probably has the most brilliant marketing campaign though. Douchebags, fratbros and guys trying to get laid make up probably 86.372% of males. Axe found their demographic and ran hard with it.

[–]amcuriosity 0 points1 point ago

What portions do you use to douse the wrath of your sweat glands ?

[–]ANAL_QUEEN 1 point2 points ago

Yes. But it's far worse when it's a grown-ass man wearing it, stinking of it. Major turnoff, but at least I know the douches.

[–]kobooold 1 point2 points ago

Actually, I've found that just a tiny bit of the Rise kind seem to give me more positive feedback than the other colognes that I've tried.

[–]roodpart 0 points1 point ago

Right guard or Sure

[–]Varanae 0 points1 point ago

I see this type of comment every time Lynx is mentioned on Reddit but pretty much every female friend I have loves it compared to other stuff. These are intelligent adult women too, not some kids who have just started caring about their bodies.

[–]Snowyjoe 0 points1 point ago

but.... it's sooooooo cheaaaaaaaap

[–]RavinGravy 3 points4 points ago

For a very good reason.

[–]civilian11214 14 points15 points ago

Axe is not deodorant. It is chemical warfare.

[–]MyGenerationIsWorse 7 points8 points ago

Ahh the old Sontaran Stratagem.

[–]ANAL_QUEEN 5 points6 points ago

Hit him on the back of the neck!

[–]Parkmayn 2 points3 points ago

He can produce magnificent quantities of lactic fluid!

[–]AdjutantStormy 20 points21 points ago

Using Axe as a deodorant is like using a firehose to dry off.

[–]cowpunter 4 points5 points ago

I thought as was the coolest thing when I first got it, I could just spray that shit on instead of having to spread the cold gel my armpits. But I soon discovered it was fucking worthless. It did not prevent any odor, it merely had a smell of its own. Though I did eventually find something that not only solved the cold gel issue, but also got rid of the oder and even ended up being a superior deodorant, I discovered DRY STICK.

[–]terminal_velocity 22 points23 points ago

Are you in middle school?

[–]chewp911 2 points3 points ago

That was my assumption from seeing this. If he's any older...good god.

[–]terminal_velocity 0 points1 point ago

From what you said, I just pictured a 50 year old doing this, and then hitting up the local teen hangout.

[–]Pell331 4 points5 points ago

Wheres it from?

[–]octodat 3 points4 points ago

The Dry versions are decent deodorants and they also don't smell that much.

[–]twelvefortyAM 11 points12 points ago

There are some scents of Axe that actually smell good, used in moderation.

[–]notsurewhatiam 1 point2 points ago

The word moderation is what the kids don't understand though.

[–]Verdris 8 points9 points ago

Axe is for children.

[–]invaderkristin 1 point2 points ago

And douchebags. It at least makes it easy to weed them out.

[–]seanbear 3 points4 points ago

That title kind of ruined the joke. While it technically isn't the punchline, it meant as soon as I read "axe" I knew what was meant.

[–]FilthFlarnFilth 0 points1 point ago

I'm pretty tired of pun comics. In general, I don't really find them clever.

[–]TheDaliTrauma 0 points1 point ago

Hey! Filth Flarn! Motherfucker, dick, pussy, snot and shit! Goodnight! Suck my dick!

[–]glassex 3 points4 points ago

AND MY OLD SPICE!

[–]betamos 3 points4 points ago

Who upvotes this?

[–]Wholesaletrash 2 points3 points ago

I think this is what my little brother did. I couldn't use the bathroom for a good half hour after he was done getting ready without a gas mask.

[–]timekillah 0 points1 point ago

the last photos expression, fucking awesome.

[–]roparksie 0 points1 point ago

This reminded me that I forgot to put on deodorant today.

[–]Calcipher 0 points1 point ago

Every time you apply deodorant a bunch of random guys appear in your bathroom and tell you that they want to lend you their "weapons"?

[–]kezeran 0 points1 point ago

Lynx africa is pretty good, and i use the shower gels , i have other aftershave stuff though

[–]Popcom 0 points1 point ago

Perhaps I'm getting old, but since when is Axe, deodorant?

[–]Justhowifeel 1 point2 points ago

I remember i had my buddy over once before we were gonna head out and i decided to put axe on. ONE spray, ONE SMALL SPRITS, and he could smell that shit downstairs - multiple rooms away from the stairs.

axe is overpowered.

[–]snacksforyou 0 points1 point ago

Axe body spray is no excuse for a shower

[–]gigakain 0 points1 point ago

The smell of Axe combined with the smell of adolescent boy stink will scar you for life. That is why people react this way its not because we are snobs its because we are traumatized. Forgive us.

[–]andalite_bandit 0 points1 point ago

wait...every time you apply deodorant what?

aragorn, legolas, and gimli appear?

[–]macevil23 0 points1 point ago

All he has to do now it's light that shitstorm of a cloud and watch everything in a 25m radius burn to a crisp that bacon would be jealous of.

[–]HughGnu 0 points1 point ago

Unfortunately, I am one of those lame people who is overwhelmed by fragrances. Perfumes, colognes, potpourri, etc bother me. My throat itches, my nose burns, my eyes water. I have difficulty breathing. I hate that I am so bothered by fragrances, but I am. I just wish people were more considerate with their application of fragrances.

[–]reren325 0 points1 point ago

Axe is not DEoderant. It just makes you smell like a juvenile douche.

[–]olibird978[S] -1 points0 points ago

If you havent guessed yet, im a teenager(hence the axe)(actually i use ol spice but whatever) And i made it to the front page. Muhahaha.

[–]missallsunday88 0 points1 point ago

The most effective weapon of all!

[–]ojplz 0 points1 point ago

op posting oc? OH WAIT...

[–]dragoncore74 0 points1 point ago

At least he made his own pictures instead of directly posting the cyanide and happiness comic

[–]Decipher 1 point2 points ago

So you just openly admitted you wear Ass..er..Axe body spray?

[–]Catsinbowties -2 points-1 points ago

Axe is not deodorant.

[–]cowpunter 0 points1 point ago

The spray certainly isn't, the sticks work though.

[–]Catsinbowties 0 points1 point ago

...No they really don't. Trust me, I've been around many men who think the same thing.

[–]cowpunter 0 points1 point ago

I use a dry axe stick and it works way better than the gillette gel crap that I used to use.

[–]pics-or-didnt-happen 1 point2 points ago

Anyone who applies axe in a public space deserves to have someone flick a match at them.

[–]orthag 1 point2 points ago

Eh, all it does it make a temporary flash of fire at point of impact.

SOURCE: Flicking matches at douche bags.

[–]pics-or-didnt-happen 0 points1 point ago

Not if they're still spraying.

SOURCE: My cousins use axe to fuel their potato cannons.

[–]orthag 0 points1 point ago

Then you risk the can exploding and innocents getting hit with shrapnel.

[–]Vance_Buckman 0 points1 point ago

Axe stinks

[–]maddog66 -1 points0 points ago

Axe tastes like pee

[–]Gravyness -2 points-1 points ago

Why did you tasted Axe?

[–]The_Mosephus 0 points1 point ago

if you've ever used axe, you've tasted it...

[–]MaybeNotaTurtle -2 points-1 points ago

DAE THINK AXE SUCKS!?

[–]rspeed -2 points-1 points ago

A few months ago I was in a Broship of the Ring cosplay group as Gimli. This was my go-to joke.

[–]orthag 0 points1 point ago

Now i want to find an old hippy to hang out with, but i only know of two, and one is an alcoholic and the other gave up hippydom to be a vending machine kingpin.

[–]kobooold 0 points1 point ago

Actually, this one's older.
