    Default pump bottles

    Has anyone had experience with pump bottles? I was wondering if
    there is a loss of liquid through evaporation. I keep clycerin and witch hazel ok but I went thru my expensive Floid so fast it must have evaporated. Any advice out there?

    I use pump bottles for a variety of uses and believe them to be economical, in that you don't waste any of the product, and I've never had a problem with evaporation.

    Check the ingedients in Floid. If there's Alcohol, it's gonna evap fast, Witch Hazel and Glycerin, I believe your OK. I'm sure other ingredients do to, not many that are in that though....Good Luck

    Default conair

    Yes, that is a Conair lather heater. I very rarely use it. Maybe if it is
    very cold I do. My biggest complaint is when you heat lather cans the lather gets watery. I pretty much stick to brush and mug.

    I was wondering why you don't use spray bottles for all your after shaves or colognes. I do and it keeps them forever.

    A dispenser pump is designed for products with a thicker consistency like creams or glycerin.

    A spray bottle is completely sealed and I presume the dispenser pump you own must still have some kind of opening that makes the alcohol evaporate.

    +1 to Max!

    After reading this thread yesterday, I had an idea pop in my head, so I did some searching.

    Oh boy, here we go again...*AD incoming.

    I'm a little hesitant posting about this, but what the heck...might as well share with others right?

    How about a few atomizers for your shave den?


    And for travel, I present for your consideration, a travel atomizer available in a large variety of wood finishes (you can even have the thing engraved for you!) P.S. Click the picture for the link

    Rob,

    I love those older atmomizers. Especially the vintage ones. But yes, that's another AD. And it becomes even more expensive once you start chasing those rare and vintage perfumes and EDT's.

    Why in God's name do perfum houses need to reformulate all their best and most popular scents.
