Chairman Recommended: Deodorant

Added on May 12, 2016 by C. Maoxian.

The Chairman's body odor has been described by his friends as "incredible" and that's even before I have consumed any dairy products (which kicks my B.O. up to B.B.O (an old Seinfeld joke)). Nevertheless I don't like using deodorant in general and would never ever smear any aluminum compound "anti-perspirant" in my armpits. But this spray deodorant from Burt's Bees is quite pleasant, masks the Chairman's natural manly scent fairly well, and has the added benefit of acting as a mosquito repellent.

I don't think Clorox has added any bleach to the original formula since buying out old Burt. I pay $7 for a 4 fluid ounce bottle, which lasts several months.

Chairman Recommended: Floss Picks

Added on May 12, 2016 by C. Maoxian.

I used to use Glide floss, which was the best floss around, even after Procter & Gamble bought it from W.L. Gore and changed the product a bit (I suspect). For some reason somewhere along the line I stopped using floss and started using these floss picks, even though they're not friendly to Mother (Earth).

I can imagine millions of them gathering together in some mile-wide flotsam in the ocean, or scattering the beaches of Polynesian islands ... Paul Gauguin's famous Tahitian landscape littered with used floss picks. I pay $2 for a pack of 75, which lasts a couple of months.
