    Thanks, Blair. The Longevity of SV's splashes is average for a quality artisan. I shaved at about 6:30am and it is 8:50 here right now and it is definitely noticeable still, but I suspect by noon it will be quite diminished. The PAA, Maol and CL splashes definitely are longer. I'd put this right in line with Fine, Stirling and Jeeves, to be honest. As I stated earlier, for alcohol-based splashes, I think the skin feel of CL and Maol is a significant notch above. This product is much more reminiscent of those other quality artisans I mentioned. Now, if you want to talk about scents, I have nothing better...

    One example of Utilitarian: Fat Boy
    One Example of Luxury: Simpson Keyhole
    One example of a stained towel: :scared003:
    With my new iPhone X, I have to be more judicious with what background I choose.
    The Good:
    Great lather, excellent, still sharp 'n smooth blade.
    The Bad: missed the baby.
    To quote Maxwell Smart: "Missed it by that much"

    Wonderful shave Rick!
    Keep up the head shaving.
    Just like the mug, it takes time to get your technique down.
