Here's the deal. You either buy Bushido Fresh, or you keep buying new gear. Your call. I learned the hard way — I let my equipment get to a place no amount of scrubbing could fix. Had to ditch my whole setup several times and open the wallet wide. Not my finest hour. These days I hit my gear with Bushido Fresh after each week or a particularly mean session, and that rotten cycle — Sweat, Stink, Spend — is dead in the water. The boys at the gym no longer suffer on account of my olfactory offenses. Clean gear, clean conscience.
