Welcome to the SDMB. Lots of smart and weird and pedantic and opinionated people here.
Especially if you want old fashioned womens nightgowns. Nothing there is cheap- in both senses of that word.
I still do that. With hot water, it makes shaving a pleasurable experience, rather than a nasty chore.
I don’t shave that way. I use a can of shave gel and dab it on with my fingers.
It will be grim day if looseleaf tea ever ceases to be available.
One flavor I miss, of a good brand, is Greek Gods Pomegranate Yogurt. That was the best!
Yeah I use a fragrance free deodorant stick I bought quite a while ago, forgot about that, lol. Gonna have to get some Lubriderm.
Yeah ‘fragrance free’ is the retail term. It might be a ‘long lasting’ fad, but believe me, most of the stuff is gone. I know because I used to buy lots of it and have also contacted the manufacturers to ask what happened. Every one I contacted confirmed they’d discontinued the product. Yes there are still a few niche items, but when this thing was at it’s zenith almost every major brand had a fragrance free version. And I do realize they went away because of lack of sales, the same thing that kills any product. I’m just pointing out that it’s unfortunate to me, haha. 
Agreed. What I was really trying to convey is that there have been unscented/fragrance-free products for decades, which is, to me, longer than a fad – unlike, say, the “clear” products which were everywhere for a year or two, and then vanished.
Edit: And, a belated welcome to @Cheetahkins ! Hope you stick around!
I miss the clear gravy.
For what it’s worth, the Mitchum deodorant I started buying when I couldn’t find Right Guard gel anymore is actually unscented.
And not a lot more than that here. I get it, AI128, and I wish I could say you were wrong. But . . . well . . . OK, there’s a lot of sentimental attachment due to a bunch of things: the late uncle who gave it to me, the fact I’ve had it for about 40 years, moving it cross-country as one of the limited number of things I could fit in the little Toyota. How many people do you know who have had the same microwave since the mid 80s?
Plus, the controls are simple and intuitive, and the thing just lasts and lasts. I’ve bought other microwaves, mostly for my parents when they were alive. The darn things all went kaput after a couple years. I like the one I have, and I think I could use it till I die - if I could just get an aftermarket turntable.
I think I’ll soon have to take your advice.
No, I throw all of mine in my bathroom garbage can. I want to know why people are flossing as they’re driving. I’ve never felt the need!
So true, I like Mitchum for women. It was not anywhere on the shelf but I did find a gel maybe it was Gillette, one width of product on the bottom shelf.
Upper shelves full of Native and other unfamiliar solid brands. The person I was with had to test smell every native product then they found the one they liked but couldn’t leave the last dozen untested. So quirky.
Now that you mention it, I think I’ve noticed the itchiness from the solid deodorants. One problem is that the gel-type didn’t seem to work well in my travel kit. I think it either leaked or dried up.
Yeah, the pressure differential makes the gel stuff leak if you take it on an airplane. And most brands are more than 3 ounces, so you can’t take it in a carry-on. That is one downside, but I don’t travel often enough for it to be much of a problem. That said, I don’t get the itchiness from the old fashioned white powdery solid deodorants, just the clear ones. So I just get a travel sized stick of that kind to take with me when I travel. I suppose if the gel goes away completely I would just switch to that kind, but they’re also less common than the clear solid kind.
They finished eating their fast food in the car while driving to their next event. They’re not going to be able to brush teeth or use mouthwash while driving. It’s floss or nothing.
Now as to why they’re then tossing their trash out the window? Because they’re uncivilized animals. But uncivilized animals w cleanish teeth.
I have sensitive skin that makes me prone to dermatitis - I’m talking patches of rashes all over my body that can take months to get rid of. Almost any kind of soap is problematic for me. So, for decades, I bought Moisturel Sensitive Skin Cleanser - the only such product I was able to use without irritating my skin. Then, they stopped making it. I tried all kinds of stuff that was supposedly for sensitive skin - but they were far more irritating than plain old soap and water! Finally, I discovered Aquaphor Baby Wash - no skin problems at all with it - but if they ever stop making that, I will really be screwed, as I don’t think there’s another such go-to product out there.
Aquaphor is serious medicine for sufferers of skin diseases I hope it remains available
No it was Dry Idea, in new packaging unscented gel. What a name!
Ah. My bad. Thought we were discussing tea.
When that brand was introduced, it was primarily, if not exclusively, a roll-on (which was a very common form for anti-perspirants and deodorants in the '70s and '80s). The brand name – and its original point of difference – came from the fact that, compared to other roll-ons of the era, it had a different formulation (IIRC, Dry Idea’s medium was silicone-based, rather than water-based), which wasn’t as wet when you put it on, and dried very quickly. The fact that the name also suggested dry underarms didn’t hurt, either.
You must have a hell of a tough beard if it takes a whole can to shave it. I get several years out of a small container of Barbasol (it helps having a full beard and mustache so there’s a limited area that needs shaving).
