It's For A Man, Man! June 27, 2008

Axe goes to great lengths to make their products appear to be very manly despite being little more than metrosexual products hidden underneath a well-executed "tough guy" ad campaign. So goes it with their latest product, the Axe Detailer Shower "Tool" ('cause real men don't do loofahs). I have to admit that I've always liked Axe products, from their body sprays to their shower gels, and I'm quite pleased with the Detailer as well. When you need to get down to the nitty gritty, the rougher red side does a fine job of getting dirt and grime off of the bottom of your feet, your knees and elbows. The softer black mesh side leaves you feeling scrubbed down but not skinned alive. There's also a rubberized, tire-like gripper in the middle. The first time I used it was after a trip to Galveston Island, TX, where the Gulf of Mexico can be pretty dirty and contains a bit of tar as well. The Detailer did its job and got me clean. I've used it with shower gel as well as with bar soap. It appears to work just fine with both of them. It rinses clean quickly and easily too.
There are plenty of similar products on the market that work just as well and cost much less. However, if you're worried about losing your man-card but don't want to give up your longing for a good scrub down, the Detailer is just what you're looking for.
 A bar of soap works, too... July 6, 2008

I'm suspicious of the whole Axe thing. A hot shower and a dab of cologne was good enough for Frank Sinatra. You didn't hear Ian Fleming fret about exfoliating. This is a brand that built its reputation on "body spray," a dubious invention. I have never met a woman who broke up with a freshly-showered man who uses a mild deodorant on the grounds that he smelled too bland. I've never heard a woman say, "You're okay, but despite the showering and diet light in garlic, you need an all-over body spray." Now and then, I've heard women compliment a FAINT trace of a nice cologne, but every woman to whom I've spoken has said that it's very, very easy to go too far with the after-shave, and too much of a good thing is very, very bad. Riddle me this. What kind of horrendous glandular problems must you have to require an "all-over body spray"? I mean, really. If it's that bad, you don't need an all-over body spray; you need a prescription. Well, from the people who brought you the all-over body spray, comes this. I guess if you have a lot of dead skin that you want to shed, and want a manly-looking item for the job -- to impress the sort of broad-chested men at gyms who carefully scrutinize the bathing accessories of their workout buddies -- this is it. It would also work if you have incredible dirt and grime from painting, wood shop, or garage work and don't want to use solvents. But if none of these situations apply, then don't be fooled. This is no more than a synthetic loofa, tricked out for the Maxim generation. As I tried it out, I kept thinking of the various solvents that would do just as good a job, and are available at any hardware or paint-supply store. And I only need them on my hands and forearms. Then I began to wonder what you would have to do to get tough-to-clean dirt and grime in places so unorthodox that a special tool like this would be required. The mind reels. Maybe it's my lack of imagination, but I can't think of much you can do that can't be fixed with a good bar of old-fashioned soap -- with pumice granules, if necessary -- in a hot shower. I get the idea that this is aimed at younger men. Is there that much need for a loofa when you're in your twenties? If so, is there a real stigma about owning one? I have no idea. It looks cool, though, the rubberized grip is easy to manage in the shower, and it would make a good back-to-school gift for a Louisville Cardinals fan. Other than that....

If your man chooses to groom
Himself inside a locker room
Get him THIS tool for the shower
A manly AXE with scrubbing power
Appearance wise, this is a hit
A rubber "tire" surrounds it
So he can grip his sturdy AXE
And purge the dirt from out the tracks
HOWEVER......
For getting into all the cracks
There's no real need to use this AXE
Unless you've oil and grime galore
From cleaning seabirds on the shore
The mesh side lathers up real quick
And is the side that you should pick
The other is like coarse sandpaper
In case your skin requires a scraper
Beware the red side if your skin
Is sensitive or very thin
Scrub your elbows and your heels
To understand how raw skin feels
It isn't that this product sucks
It's kinda cool - but for four bucks?
A bath net sponge performs just fine
And costs a dollar ninety nine

 Gets the green out! July 6, 2008

Every time I mow the lawn, I get green stains on my feet, particularly the heels and toes. I wash them off afterward, but inevitably a green caste remains over the next week.
I've tried the big puffy shower things, which is really the only way to get good lather with modern liquid shower soaps and gels. They work, and produce a lot of lather. But, they are also hard to hold when they are soapy, are a bit scratchy, and not firm enough to really help with the green feet. Unlike some other reviewers here, I never had a problem with how they look, though they do have a distinctly feminine air about them, even if you don't go for the pink.
I was detailing my car this morning, and thought about the detailer shower tool from Axe. I guess the clever Mad Men down in marketing got me, because I picked one up in the afternoon while I was out. It actually does look very much like a car detailing tool, with the black and red color scheme and the "tire" ring around the outside edge. It is stylized enough so that it doesn't look like something that should be decorating a mechanic's garage. I have to admit, it does look considerably better hanging in the shower than the purple shower poof it replaced.
Thankfully, it is smaller than it appears in the pictures, so it is easy to hold and maneuver. I guess because of the tire outer edge, I was worried it would be too big.
The rubber outer edge is soft, and feels like the polyurethane that inflatable pool floats are made from more than the hard rubber of a car tire. This makes it easier to hold, but compressible so that a good lather can be worked up from the black colored shower poof inside (it is in there, hiding behind the red scrubby pad). So already I like this better than the traditional poof, because it feels better in my hand, is easier to hold, and looks better. But, what really threw it over the top for me is the red scrubby pad on the front.
At first I thought I would have to add soap to the red pad to use it, but the lather from the poof behind it squeezes right through it, so if you've been using the rest of the tool, the scrubby is all soaped up and ready to go. It is perfect for getting dirt, oils, and, yes, green grass stains off of the soles of feet, toes, elbows, palms, and other tougher areas of the skin (it does tickle a bit!). It is too rough for any other delicate regions, but the puff behind it is fine for those (that one is the same as a standard puff, and is a little bit scratchy like those are, but nothing too rough).
So, overall I really like this "detailing tool for bodies." It is easier to hold than a standard puff, looks better hanging in the shower, and has a great scrubby pad built in. A great replacement for the standard combo of shower poof and loofah, and takes up less space. Plus, lately my wife has been asking me why my feet aren't green, which I'd say is a plus.
Recommended!

My boys loved this... June 25, 2008

I've got twin boys (7 yrs) and they loved this gadget in the shower. Makes them feel like bigger boys. When they used it I could see a lot of lather and that made me feel like they were getting a good scrub down. They said it was easy to hang on to and didn't feel like they would drop it. My husband agreed on all points as well and said that the material gave a good scrub but didn't irritate the skin!
