The (surprisingly recent) history of antiperspirants!

I rarely talk to people about Paleo/Primal, but, when I do, it's when they're NOT complaining about their weight or health.
You see, I don't really "do" pity. And one thing I've learned about people is that they're more open to suggestion when they're happy and stable. When they complain they only ever want pity, not to be advised.

It took a few months (I was fairly sweaty when I first went Primal, it being summer and all, so I could tell!), but now I use a crystal deodorant stone and it works very well to cut odor. If I'm active, I use it twice a day (morning & evening), and I don't get beyond a slightly sweet sweaty smell. Nothing faint-worthy.

I just use water, in the shower. Lotion would also work, and does when I'm not so lazy.
I use soap, actually, but not to shave.

A checkout clerk at Whole Foods tried to convince me to use coconut oil as a deodorant, so I tried it. OMG, my pits smelled like a big soft rotten coconut at the end of the day. I smell better not using anything at all. Sometimes I use Tom's of Maine, but I prefer to go without- still, we're so used to not smelling people so that when we do, we REALLY do.
