Question Atomisers

Hi guys,
I need to pick your brains again.

What are the pros and cons of an atomiser?

Should I decant my cologne into an atomiser?

Buy with an atomiser fitted or decant. Which is better?

So many questions, so little time

I don't see any real cons about using atomisers, I find it better to have a spray than to waste 1/2 of the cologne or whatever on your hands. Atomisers make alot of sense to me.

Depends on your preference, and the atomizer, I gess. Both have pro and cons. With most splash bottles you probably will get your skin in contact with the liquid and long term oils from your hands may affect the content. Of course it may be a rather small effect that you won't even notice.
Some atomizers produce rather heavy sprays. I prefer light use of fragrances so that's no good for me.

You mean those fancy crystal bottles with the rubber bulbs with the silk tassles that the girly men use. I think my Mom had one of those.

His wife reported he was using his Iwasaki Razor and while shaving his neck it just seemed to have a mind of its own and came to life and cut his throat. Subsequent investigation revealed the razor belonged to Toshiro Kawasaki a WWll Kamakazee pilot who was killed when his plane slammed into the USS Yorktown. His last act was to shave with that razor. It is suspected the razor is haunted.

I think the answer here is in the original post ie: Cologne....
Personally I spray cologne, and splash aftershave...
I have made it a habit to never buy, or let the wife buy, any cologne that doesn't come as a spray.... Now if ya look real hard you can find some rather plain, more manly, atomizers out there.....

To me an atomiser makes sense for colognes but not for aftershaves.
