duckdown, are you using shaving alum or deodorant alum? The alum I use for shaving is Potassium Alum. My deodorant is Ammonium Alum, plus some unspecified mineral salts. I don't know if it makes a difference b/c I've never tried to use my shaving block as deodorant, but I was never able to get good antiperspirant or deodorant protection until I started using the Crystal. I wet the stick before using, make sure I get good coverage all over one pit, rinse well, repeat on the other pit, rinse again, and I'm good to go.
What is your underarm deodorant of choice?

Before, I used commercial deodorants. These did not work well as I could sometime smell myself even in the morning, and they left yellow stains on my clothes (apparently because of the aluminium they contain).
Then I discovered a recipe for a homemade deodorant, containing starch, baking soda and coconut oil. This works perfectly. No odor at all even at the end of the day and no stains. Note that I also exclusively use Aleppo soap to clean my skin, which might also have some effect on the body odor suppression.

Nivea Cool kick (sorry not available in US,Canada) available in my country and some european countries.
Great aroma, nice with the skin.

I've got some RazoRock lavender alum spray on the way in - can't wait to give it a try.
Am I the only one who rarely uses deodorant? Don't havea BO problem as far as I can tell. I do have a Nancy Boy Deoderant spray that I got for free in case of emergency but seeing the length of the topic has taken be back about my approach.
Im a strong believer in Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood deodorant.
A friend recently put me on to this. Like me, he was annoyed with the staining of shirts but he says this has solved the issue despite containing aluminium chlorohydrate.
It definitely works great as an anti-p/deo. Hopefully it does the same trick for me with the underarm staining

Calvin Klein CK1 deodorant is nice, ran out of it a while ago though. Using Speick Natural deo stick right now and it goes nicely with Speick ASL.
