Worth the 20.00 a bottle? All day staying power? I dig American Blend as a scent... but at 20 bucks a bottle better last most the day...
The old Fine aftershaves have the best staying power of any that I've used. They used to be $15, but ever since the price hike, there have been rumors that the scents are weaker. I haven't used a new bottle so I don't know if there's any truth to those claims. But for such a simple formula with zero skin goodies, the price increase doesn't make sense (scents?), especially if they are lighter in strength.

Good? Yes - in fact very good for the type of product that it is. Worth it? Not to me. I'm partial to the Fine L’Orange Noir. As far as minimalist aftershaves go, I think the Fine is very well done, but not "last all day" well done and not 20 bucks worth of well done either. I have a variety of splashes from other makers that are cheaper, that I like as well or better, and some of which have skin food as well.

I like them a lot And L'Orange Noir is a favorite. Also Santal Absolut is very nice. In fact my very favorite. L'Orange Noir will last about 8 hours. Santal Absolut goes all day. American Blend is a stayer too. I just picked up another bottle of L'Orange Noir and I can confirm it is not as potent as its elder sibling.
I bought all of mine when they went for $14.99 I believe but I really like em. The ones I would and probably will buy again are Platinum, Fresh Vétiver and American Blend. The ones I'll pass on are L'Orange Noir, Clean Vetiver and the Lavender and Sandalwood ones.
