YellowSnow 0 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 My prayers have been answered. They are now selling Lynx in Japan in 7/11 konbinis. Its sold under the name axe (american brand name) the fragences are not exactly the same but close enough. The cans are a little smaller and the consistancy is a bit powdery.

indosnm 0 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I've seen them in Indonesia as axe.. or maybe that was OZ? I threw mine out because it ponked! Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Some Lynx are really smelly, don't like them. There's one that I really like though can't rember the name - it was a nice blue/silver colour though. Selling them in 7-11 are they? Link to post Share on other sites
YellowSnow 0 Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 Yes but under different names. Before I used to love the one called africa. But I dont know the equalivant in Japan. The one I bought was called Kilo not my fave though. Link to post Share on other sites
spook 0 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 while i'm not a fan of lynx, i find buying deodorant a fairly traumatic experience. if i can't find my standard one i freak the hell out. some of them just reek, and i have to stand in the aisle opening and sniffing them all in order to find something i like. i also can't believe i'm discussing my deodorant buying habits on the internet. i really need to get a job where i don't sit in front of a computer for 8 hours a day.

YellowSnow 0 Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 There is not much choice deodorant in Japan. That gadzby crap smells like lemon toilet freshner. Link to post Share on other sites
fukdane 2 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Lynx / Axe is way too strong smelly for me. Having said that, good that there is something out there other than the usual poor ones. Perhaps it's the start of a new trend. Lets deodorise. Link to post Share on other sites

indosnm 0 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 stick type is just that... sticky. Does anyone like that stuff? If I shaved my pits I'd probably use it! Link to post Share on other sites
YellowSnow 0 Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 I am with Indosnm here, I wouldnt call stick type normal. Link to post Share on other sites

Tesselator 0 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 I found that after living in Japan for the first 2 years or so and changing over to a Japanese diet that deodorant was no longer needed except for very nervous occasions like "The Big Job Interview" or a friend's wedding or something. And when I was in the US, well.. Skunks had nothing on me! Link to post Share on other sites

samurai 0 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 quit your drinking... it helps. Or- have your mom send you your deodorant in your care packages. I've got heeps, but none for you... Nothing in Japan will cover my whiskey pits. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Or eat more REAL indian curries. Your piss and sweat will smell of it for days after! as for care packages... My oldies haven't been able to send spray cans for ages. Once they got through but were rejected after being X rayed. Now I have to live off drop off's! More arriving tomorrow!
