 It;s not a loofah or bath poof its a shower tool September 1, 2008

Finally a shower tool made for men. A magnificent blend of form and function. Love the red and black motif, and the rough scrub side and gentle lather side gets the job done. Well satisfied with this product, will definitely buy these goodies next time I run out.

Sorry about that, but I recently discovered Robert E. Howard's Kull: Exile of Atlantis, and I couldn't resist.
As readers of my Vine reviews have noted, I've long believed that men and women are similar enough that they can use each other's health and personal care items but that in order to market said products to both men and women, changes may be required. The Axe Detailer Shower Tool is a perfect example of this as it is rather obviously just another lowly Foaming Shower Pouf... with a sex change. Gone are the lovely pastels, replaced by a manly black and red. A rubber tire grip allows you to apply masculine force and direction to the problem while the red pad provides exfoliation for those men who need it. Note: care must be exercised as the pad is quite abrasive. If your choice of career or lifestyle does not produce calluses, you are advised to use it sparingly in order to avoid screaming like a little girl.
Over a month of daily use with Gillette Oil Control Face + Body Wash and Gillette Shampoo + Body Wash produced excellent results.
So why only four stars? Because there is already another product on the market that outdoes it: Salux Japanese Beauty Skin Cloth. Salux or other brand flat nylon mesh cloths are superior IMHO for the following reasons:
1. Unlike the Axe the Salux cloth can be used to scrub the back with a two-hand motion.
2. Unlike the Axe the Salux cloth works quite well with bar soap.
3. The Salux cloth is much better for cleaning nooks and crannies like between the toes.
4. A Salux cloth packs a lot smaller.
Good try, Axe, but I'm going back to my Salux.
A Great Idea - How About One Made of Natural Materials Though? August 22, 2008

Wow - I can't believe it took this long for a product like this to be made. It's a great solution for the loofah and puff! My son used this product since he has been using Axe products for a few years now and these were his thoughts on it -
Pros:
- Ergonomic, comfortable to hold and use.
- Scrub side (red) is great for exfoliating, esp. hands and feet. Plus, unlike a regular loofah, it seems like it would be less likely to have bacteria grow quickly since it isn't a natural product.
- Mesh side takes the place of the puff he used before to get a good lather going. He said the mesh side was even better than a puff because it retained more shower gel and still had a great lather.
Cons:
- The first time using it, the mesh side is a bit rough.
- Not as good for the environment vs. a loofah since it is man-made, while a loofah is a plant.
Nice Quality, but quantity overkill August 22, 2008
I really enjoy using this item paired with the Axe Skin Contact Purifying Shower Gel, 12-Ounce Bottle (Pack of 4). I really do feel more energized and clean, especially after I run / workout. The handle section gives it a more masculine appeal, but honestly this is just like any normal bath scrubbing device. I like the addition of two sides, which is handy for scrubbing deep when using the rougher flat side to exfoliate.
The only problem... this pack comes with four of these shower tools. Honestly that's not that bad, but really I can't imagine needing more than two of these within a year or even two years. These are well made and don't seem to be the kind of item that readily needs to be replaced anytime soon. An extra for the spare bathroom or possibly a backup for the gym bag, maybe... but honestly I can't figure out what to do with the other leftovers. Other than this, I have no complaints and have happily changed my daily routine to include using this shower accessory.

I saw that this so-called "shower tool" had one part(a soft poof)for your delicates and another part(a tough pad)for your rough parts. It sounds like a great idea, but this thing is just awkward to use. The tough pad part is supposed to be for areas like your feet and elbows, but it really doesn't seem to do much(and it doesn't really seem to lather up hardly at all). The poof part is fine, but just very small. Oh, and you'll constantly be rubbing(i.e. scratching)yourself with the big rubber body of the "tool".
Axe's Shower Tool is a great concept, but the execution is way off.
