It definitely can be . If I didn ' t watch anime or read manga I would not be able to engage 95 % of the conversation that was had at a college party lmao <| sep |> Well that ' s a relief we can probably eliminate the worst option then . <| sep |> I use a crystal stick . They don ' t work for everyone but I switched about three years ago and LOVE them . They cost about $ 4 and my first one lasted almost two years . I ' m only on my second one now . No white marks , yellow stains , smells , fake scents , sticky film on your skin and I used to get ingrown hairs and occasional pimples under my arms , never happens now . I thought they were total BS until I tried one after I had to limit the scents in my life , turns out they are pretty awesome . I won ' t ever switch back to traditional deodorant .
