Does anyone else like Aqua Velva but.

... doesn't like the bottles? The opening is too big. I end up spilling all the time...

Funny. Ice Sport has a smaller opening than Ice Blue.

My complaint about AV's bottle is that, at 3.5 oz, it's exactly 0.1 oz too large. 3.4 oz is the largest the TSA will let you carry on.

Put your pointer finger over the hole, tip the bottle and then let up a bit on the finger over the hole. That way, you can control how much you let out into the palm of the other hand. There's less spilling and less mess.

Good tip! I'll give it a try...

I decant my aftershave in previously cleaned (of course) Tabasco bottoles. The pourer is built-in the bottle so no mess!

This. I can't believe how much I wasted before I figured this out this surprisingly simple technique.

I would've wasted a bunch too I hadn't picked up this tip here on B&B early on .

I do the finger thing too. I also have a bottle of European AV my son picked up in france (comes in a glass bottle) and the hole on that one is even bigger, in fact it's the largest hole on any aftershave I've ever seen. It literally spills out a handfull of aftershave.

I have always liked Aqua Velva, but now I am completely sold on Master Blue. It has a chill of menthol that makes Osage Rub seem like Virgin Island Bay Rum, and the dry down aroma is much better than AV. But yeah, those AV bottles are a pain! What's inside is worth it, though! Especially for the AV Musk.

Thought the exact same thing when I used it for the first time.

 

[Redzone]

The more that comes out the better It is an usual bottle all round I knew I should have got the 400ml not the 200ml.

i also think the opening is too big, but for the price... buying another one each couple of months/years ain't big of a deal.
