I had tried a Tom's of Maine stick in the past; from what I recall the stick was rather dry and hard to apply. But I had read some other recommendations for it, so just today, I bought 2 different Tom's of Maine deodorants to try out. Plus an Old Spice Classic stick. Normally I avoid "regular" brands like Old Spice, as I don't want to support companies which are involved in animal testing. But well... I have fond childhood memories of the Old Spice scent. If I don't like it, I can give it to Qiao.
