The Way I Smell Before I Go to Bed

I've been growing a beard for the past few days and it started to irritate the shit out of my neck, so I shaved it off. Before doing so, I took a shower in my euro-style tub/shower in order to soften the hairs before the slice-and-dice. My rinse off doubled as a deodorizing process, until I realized afterwards that I smelled worse than prior. It served to awaken whatever lingering odors had lain beneath the superficial layer of skin underneath my armpits and let them swirl around my face and head like a genie out of the bottle. I had a similar experience in Alaska once when I hadn't showered for about three weeks, then took a bath in an icy river, and then proceeded to smell worse than anyone ever anywhere.
