How much aftershave do you apply?

Question to the group: how much aftershave do you think you apply per application? Has anyone given this much thought?

Another way of asking the same question: how many applications/uses do you reckon you get from the average 100ml bottle?

I measured out 1ml into my palm the other day and thought it seemed like enough for a decent application. I normally have a slight amount of moisture/water remaining on my face before I apply, and slightly damp hands to help spread it on evenly.

I’m now guessing I probably apply 1 - 1.5ml each time now, but wondering what you lot think. I assume you all consume an average 100ml splash at a faster rate than an average 4oz tub of soap. I certainly seem to.
 
About the size of your own thumb nail is the amount of aftershave splash or balm is all you need.

Edit:- Everybody own thumb nail sizes are ALL different, based on your own body shapes and sizes.
 
Daily SR shaving and a 100ml bottle of aftershave lasts me about 3 months, so that's about 1ml per shave.

My aftershave is a Wahl Bay Rum/Witch Hazel blend 75%/25% by volume respectively.
 
2.5 moles at 11 degrees

That is is APR Skye Fall. This will obviously vary by splash depending upon their chemical composition.

This is what you meant right @Holiday ?

Ummm, you do know, I hope, that 2.5 moles at 11º is exactly the same as 2.5 moles at any temperature? Of course, it might take you a while to count out 6.02x10²³ units of those molecular compounds. By that time, you'd definitely be in need of another shave... ;)

As somebody who prefers balm, serums I tend to only use a couple of drops of splash as anymore is over kill... YMMV :)

1/3rd of a cup 😁. I doubled it when social distancing came in.

Of course, you'd have to know his recipe for proportions of each of the components, which I suspect is not going to be forthcoming, especially now... :unsure:

Your hypothesis is within 2 standard deviations of being correct (P=0.95). :p
