Why drop serious coin on something that goes down the drain?  Body wash presents a special challenge.  Most of the inexpensive products marketed towards women are drying and too perfumey.  This Old Spice Red Zone Body Wash is surprisingly moisturizing and great for shaving.  The scent it leaves behind is more Chanel No. 5 than Love’s Baby Soft.  This stuff is especially fantastic if your body chemistry brings out the sweet notes in fragrances.

Plus the names are hilarious: “Swagger,” “Afterhours,” “Showtime.”  I’m anxiously waiting for the newest fragrance: “Boner.”  The color might be oddly electric, but the Old Spice gives good suds.
