Im about to buy the 1 Million Shower gel, and either the Spray or Stick Deodorant, which do you think is better any why?

It may sound like a stupid question but i haven't had a Deo Stick since i was a kid so im not sure if it's worth getting over a Spray, and these things aren't cheap so i want to make the right choice here!

Any input is much appreciated, TA!

I prefer the spray. The best I've used is Mandarina Duck Man deodorant spray. It works well with any fragrance you wear, is fresh, and unique. It will last a very long time because it never comes in contact with your skin so there are no bacteria introduced.

I personally would not buy either. I would opt for an inexpensive, unscented deodorant/anti-perspirant.

I would buy the stick; it's what I've always used.

Stick.
In the past I used stick and EdT of the same scent. Now I use neutral deo stick.

Personally I don't feel sprays "do the job" for me, I'm not sure if I'm applying them incorrectly to be honest. Overall, an unscented stick is the way to go. Honestly the only item worth buying with a perfume is the scented lotion/cream, sadly they release those for very few men fragrances. They're great if layered with the scent to give them that extra longevity. The rest of the things are ridiculously over-priced, don't add anything to the perfume strength or staying power, and most importantly they usually don't do their supposed job as good as your average drugstore showergel or deodorant.

Not to be a big downer, I Can still understand the urge to buy those things for your favorite perfume even if they're not worth the price. But as I said, the only thing worth buying is the lotion. 1 Million has an after-shave lotion, not sure if that's the same as an average lotion, however it's probably worth looking into over the deodorant and shower gel.

If you like a fine scented deo, take the stick, it will last much longer!

Out of the stick, you get the better longevity.
If you´re the sillage-type, grab the spray.

This is what I use when the matching is not available or I don't want to layer.

I searched high and low because most deodorants irritated my skin, and finally found the best (at least for me): Ban unscented roll-on.

I switched to spray, as I found that the stick anti-perspirant would leave a film on my shirts, and eventually discolor them. Not to mention the white junk on your underarms. I can't wear the plain deodorants because they burn my skin, badly.

I now use unscented Sure anti-perspirant, so I get no competition with whatever scent I choose to wear. Works well.

Agree with the unscented stick approach.

I use Arm & Hammer Unscented Solid. Works brilliantly and lasts a full 24 hours.

I find that the designer deodorants don't last long enough for me to wear.

i have to weigh in on this. nobody at work would discuss this but i have an opinion id like to share. straight deoderant turns to stink as soon as my body starts to sweat. then the fragrance smells twisted. anti-perspirant/deoderant (the white kind, not the clear) actually stops me from sweating 90% or so. and the sweat that does get out doesnt stink like its been mixed with a rotten fragrance, it smells like the antiperspirant! i can always tell if a guy wears deoderant or antiperspirant. guys who wear straight deoderants smell like sweat. guys who wear anti smell like the scent in it. ive found the axe antiperspirant/deoderants are the best. i wont buy a clear or see through stick- they just dont work. and thats how it is here in cowpatty land.

Any UK people mind saying where they managed to find a Mitchum unscented roll on or stick? All I ever seem to find anywhere is the scented kind. I bought some Triple Dry today to replace my Dove Men Care one (that stuff is dire, don't bother with it), but since I see Mitchum come up time and time again, I'm interested in giving it a try.

Iv tried pretty much every brand. the 3 I found to work best are Mitchum unscented gel antiperspirant , Ban invisible unscented sold antiperspirant, and sure unscented invisible solid antiperspirant, The only scented one i liked was old spice red zone swagger scent antiperspirant

I used to use Mitchum unscented roll on until I realised that's what was causing my itchy armpits! Powerful stuff. I now use Boots own unscented sensitive roll on. Much cheaper and very effective. You can get Mitchum at Boots @Smeghead!

Just noticed you're in Notts too Smeghead! LOL! Small world and all...
