Cologne: Saint Charles Shave LLC Bay Rum With a Twist Eau De Toilette
Result: 4.6/5.0 Hmmmm...I seem to be on a Bay Rum kick. Maybe it was the hot looking woman standing next to me in the cafe Friday morning that said I smelled really good. I just had my shower and shave and all the Bay Rum stuff was still fresh. Nope, it's just coincidence. I grabbed the nearest soap in the armoire yesterday and I'm continuing my Ogallala Bay Rum Shave Soap test today. Which brings me to the test results. On Friday, I tested the Ogallala new soap formula and find it made made a huge difference from the old soap formula. Same great scent. Much better lather. However, it still wanted to fade in the bowl after two passes and about 3/4 through a pass on the face. Less water and more soap fixed most of that. But, if you have some Kiss My Face Unscented Shave Cream around then do yourself a favor and squirt some into the bowl with the Ogallala soap. Then stand back and watch the lather explode and stick around for as long as you want. Same great scent and slickness and mounds of very thick cushioned lather. Since this new soap it meltable, I may try what Rick was doing and take a puck of soap and melt it with some KMF unscented mixed in and see what I get. This should be fun.

Result: 4.5/5.0 Pretty much normal shave. Two items. The Scentual Gardens bath soap is finished and although I consider it a decent soap, it is not the best latherer, rather gooey and has too much embedded scrubbing material for me. It is a scrubbing bar so that is to be expected. Take out the scrubbing material and I would like it more. The Burt's Bees Bay Rum Shave Soap was a first for me and I'm not impressed. The scent is really nice but once again, someone made a glycerin soap that is slick but does not have good cushion and lather that just disappears on your face when you blink. I even dumped the bowl after the first pass and redid it with just a damp brush and carefully added water. Same result. Oh, well.

Guard Badger
Yes, you may peek into my shave locker. The guard badger will get upset and come after you if you try to steal something but that's the chance you take. If he doesn't get you then the attack horse will. Let's face it, there is a ton of stuff here and I need to weed some out and trade/buy up to some top shelf stuff at some point.
