Community summary
The most frequently mentioned point is the spray feel. 138 reviews (28%) say it spreads evenly and is easy to spray. That said, there are also complaints that the nozzle sometimes clumps and spits ('spits'), with a tip that when it does, you shouldn't touch it but pat it down with a puff.
Next come reliability and daily repurchase. Reviews repeatedly say 'the most reliable of the fixers' and 'I'm on my 2nd or 3rd tube.' Longevity · wear mentions are 99 and hold 62, and some say less oil comes up in summer.
On the other hand, there are lukewarm comments that longevity isn't very noticeable, and a minority of low ratings citing flaking or darkening. Some beginner reviews saying 'this is my first fixer so I'm not sure' are mixed in too, so it's best seen as a reliable daily option rather than strong hold.
These are counts of only those reviews, out of the 500 read, in which the expression appeared directly in the text. If anything, we undercounted rather than inflated — it's a minimum.

- Beginner reviews mixed inSome beginner reviews saying 'this is my first fixer so I'm not sure' are mixed in. It's best to set expectations toward reliable daily use rather than strong hold.
