It is the same scent to me. I love it and apply heavily. It is difficult for me to say how long it lasts as I tend to go nose blind after a while but I know my wife has snuggled with me like 6 hours later and she can still smell it on me. I haven't used it in warm weather but I am sure that I will. PDP 63 is still my favorite scent and the EDT is very cheap on Amazon. I will run out of the EDT long before I run out of the soap.So, what about that EdT, how do you like it? Is it the same scent as the balm? How long does it last? Have you tried it in warmer weather?

A quick 24-hour beard shave:
Gillette postwar fat-handled Tech in yellow gold/new Derby Premium blade
Trumper's Almond cream
Semogue boar brush
Clubman SR aftershave, Assured lotion, Clubman powder
Another shave before the shower: washed face with Stirling Texas on Fire shave soap, left it on my cheeks and throat, face-lathered the Trumper's, and did 1 pass WTG and a second ATG/XTG on the throat. Clean, no BBS, but nice.
Verdict: 9.2.

So after changing blades after the first pass yesterday and restarting, today I reflexively grabbed and lathered with PdP and began shaving. That pesky voice in my head said, "this is ok but..."
So I grabbed the MdC and relathered. ATT SSR1, Personna Platinum (2), MdC Fougere, Kent BK4. Three pass perfection capped off with 4711. 10

Wow! Sorry to hear about your broken hand; best wishes for a speedy and full recovery.
Thanks my friend
How did you break your hand?

Wow! After the rough shave with the newly acquired D plate and the usually trusty (with plate C anyway) Feather, I gave my face a day’s rest. Today I decided to load a popular blade I’ve never used before, a Personna med prep. Yes! Possibly my closest shave yet. Closest to BBS in ALL areas as well. This is what I was hoping for when I “upgraded” to the D. Super smooth,and no post shave irritation. Like with the C/Feather combo only closer.
So of course I had to go online and order 50 of these blades. I’m starting to feel like some kooky musician who has several guitars because certain ones only work for certain songs,but hey, if it means a great shave like today’s I’ll save certain blades for use with certain razors. Enjoy the ride!

I have had an unusual amount of irritation the last few days. I chalked it up to two things (other than my crummy technique).
1) I sometimes suspect DE blades are not quite as good a fit for me as SE.
2) Night shaving tempts to me to over-shave, since there's no rush, and I want the shave to last through the following morning.
So, tonight:
And I took it easy. Used cold water. Three passes and pretty much done.
Then, stop. Put the razor down, you goof.
Just do what this emoji does three times:
Post shave: Speick for instant magical healing; Clubman for the toning and scent; Duke Cannon for the menthol.
I'm not BBS but I also had almost no blood, and much, much less irritation.
