Nice set up! It almost rivals @Maryland998 Fluffy’s setup!
So John's got jokes? He's got more suction cups going on than a squid. Multiple angles is pretty slick though. Nice vides Todd.

Well I combined, so you could do the same or choose one or the other I guess. It was a combo of "unfamiliar product" and "product I am scared of" tags.
OK, just wanted to be sure. Thanks.
There's one razor that kinda fits..... you're right, I'm not really scared, but there's also a reason I've only used it once or twice despite it being one of my favorite razors.
Oh, and my advice Todd...... go out and explore the wonderful world of Avon! They made dozens of scents and hundreds of different shaped decanters. I'm sure there is a decanter out there somewhere that fits in with you, your hobbies, or interests somewhere. And they can be found very cheap if you can find them locally at antique stores or flea markets. Often for $1-$2 a bottle. More on ebay if you're after something specific. After watching you video this morning, I decided to use Avon Bravo after my shave. Still getting whiffs of it throughout the day. Still one of the best aftershaves ever made, Avon really knew what they were doing.

Back Roads Gold is like $55 to plate a 3 piece. Cheaper if just the head no doubt. Nice video Todd

My Dad still has a bunch of my uncle's Avon decanters. I think some of them are still new in box. My Dad is not most organized person, so some of them are buried deep in boxes in his barn, which is not temp controlled obviously. But my hopes the fact that it is mostly alcohol, the scents will be okay. I am driving down at some point this summer to sort through the boxes. When I was down there a couple of months ago, he gave me a boxed Indian Head decanter with Spice AS.

I really like the fishing boat decanter @Dave in KY featured in a recent video, particularly the fact that most were designed to stand, but that one wasn't.

I got a few decanters I will send your way when I get them boxed Todd
Eek! Sunlight and heat are about the only things that can keep those aftershaves from lasting 100 years or more, lol. I have some Avon that's over 60 years old. And I have some vintage Aqua Velva that's nearing 100 years old.
Spicy is a great scent! It's Avon's take on Shulton Old Spice.

@elmerPHuD just read you have a bunch to get so I'll hold off for now since shipping is high due to weight. You probably have more than me once you go get themI got a few decanters I will send your way when I get them boxed Todd
It's good stuff! and if you find it in the Skylark, that one doesn't stand up either!
