Review (5/5): A great shaving soap
I have been trying Ogallala’s other products and honestly, I thought I was buying the hand soap as I already had an almost new shave soap I was using. It was a mistake that I am glad I made.
I like bay rum scents but a lot of them run too heavy or too light with certain scents. Ogallala’s scents are pretty equal all across the board. No one scent overpowers the other and they all seem to work together equally.
When I received this, I was using Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood shave cream which I happen to enjoy immensely. Since I was experimenting with bay rum in aftershaves and hand soaps, I thought I would try this instead of sending it back. This shave soap has proven of equal quality to Ogallala’s other products.
I use a badger brush which helps me to whip this soap into an incredibly thick and rich lather. The scent is very pleasant and not overpowering. It provides a nice smooth and close shave although admittedly, I use pre-shave oil under all my shave soaps.
I don’t yet know if I like this better than the Taylor of Old Bond Street but for now, I am switching these two out daily. I love Ogallala’s products and will be using them for a long time to come.
Oh, and yes, I reccomend this for anyone.
