Gets the green out!
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.

Excellent Scrubber and a Skin Defoliator for Women Too
I know this is a manly sponge, but don't be surprised if your woman winds up using it too. This sponge has 2 sides. One side reminds you of a regular shower sponge, but instead of being silky, it is a little bit more aggressive. The other side, with the red center is as coarse as a scotch brite pad, although more ideally designed for the purpose, which will soften the more callous areas. This will not replace your wash rag, whereas it won't fit behind your ears. It is strictly a large surface area scrubber.
We have a continuum here, starting at soap only with your hand, which only removes the oil and salt deposits from sweat. Then you move up to a wash rag which helps to remove more of the dead skin cells sitting on the surface. The sponge, even on the gentler side is a little more aggressive than a wash rag, and will do a better job of defoliating, plus you can regulate that very easily, based on how much scrubbing you do.
I am not a proponent of acid washes, peeling the outer layer of skin off. Maybe that results in the younger looking under layers being brought to the surface, but also removes the outer layer, which is the first line of defense against the sun's harmful rays.
This sponge is a nice way of taking it a step farther than a wash rag, while still maintaining the beneficial layer of the skins protection. When I used it on my forehead and cheeks, I immediately noticed the softer more supple feel to my skin. I tried the coarse side on my heel, which has a more callous feel to it, but it also has a small ridge, and the sponge quickly removed the ridge, without irritating my heel. It works great. Overall highly recommended.

It's For A Man, Man!
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.
