Hey kids, great to see you again. Today, I thought I’d walk you through how I put on deodorant and cologne, because there’s a little bit of an art to it. You don’t want to overdo it. Anyway, we’ll get into it.

First, what I use for deodorant is…deodorant. I don’t use anti-perspirant.

Think about the words, let’s break them down.

Deodorant, so it’s getting rid of the odor, or maybe masking the odor is a better way of saying it.

And then anti-perspirant is, well, anti-perspirant. It’s going to stop you from sweating underneath your armpits. I actually got this advice from my brother. He didn’t recommend antiperspirant, so I don’t use it. Basically, I’ve never used it, because I think your armpits sweating is normal and I think sweating is actually a good thing. If you’re clogging that up, I don’t know if that’s necessarily good. To each his own, but that’s just my advice to you. I would use just regular deodorant.

So, what you want to do is you basically go like this.

And I’m going to do this, but I’m going to show you before I actually go up underneath my shirt. But I go one, two, one, two, and then I go to the other side, one, two, one, two. Okay, so let’s go ahead and do that. Okay, so I’m going to go up underneath here, one, two, one, two. Same thing on the other side, one, two, one, two. Okay, that’s good for deodorant.

Now, if you’re going to use cologne, here goes. If I have shaved and I put on aftershave, I usually don’t put on cologne, because you don’t want to have so many different smells going on. That’s not good either, right?

So, for the cologne, you want to buy decent cologne, because you don’t want to buy cheap cologne. People know the smell of cheap cologne, and I don’t think that’s good for you, and I don’t want that for you. I would at least spend a little bit of money on a decent cologne. It lasts for quite a while, so yeah, anyway, you get your money’s worth. It’s better than having a cheap cologne, right?

So what I do is I spray on my wrist. I spray once on my wrist. If you have the kind that you just dip it and wipe it, okay? And then, we’re going to do the same thing on our neck. So, I’m going to go here. I’m going to spray here like that, and then I’m going to spray here like that. Now, I just take my wrists and I rub them together like that. And then, I take here and I go like this, okay? And that’s all you need, because you don’t want to be that guy who walks into a room and people go…

Anyway, I hope this was helpful for you. That’s the technique that I’ve always used. I think it’ll work for you. So, thanks for watching, and God bless you.
