    Osage has a permenant spot in my post shave routine, which, though seemingly complex, is worth a try.

    After rinsing, I do a rub with an alum block. Gives good feedback, closes pores and stops bleeders if there are any. I then putz around with the equipment...rinsing the bursh etc.

    Facial treatment resumes with a cold water rinse, followed by a liberal application of with hazel, then the Osage Rub. Can get a good burn going on some days! I follow this with some Nivea scentless balm.

    Wait, not done yet. Lastly...cologne of the day.

    Now, while this sounds like alot....it works. The Osage scent does not last long....I'm left with the scent of my cologne.

    And the cold rinse, witch hazel, osage and balm applications happen back to back and so quickly.....

    Left with my old ugly face....but damn my skin is good.

    I've tried the Alocolado. Osage Rub beats it hands down for afterburn.

    BTW...My wife loves Alocolado to eliminate the itch and swelling from insect bites when she is gardening in the backyard. I promised to get her a bottle of her own this spring.

    I really like Osage Rub. I don't care for scent heavy products and I find it soothing.

    I think SRD carries it. I got a free bottle the other day after honing a few razors for the local barber college--they liked the edges so much (Oozuku!) that he gave me a free bottle!

    I think it's worth noting that if you're inclined to shave your head before going to sleep at night, refrain from applying Osage Rub on your head. You'll get a 'brain freeze' effect that just might keep you awake for a while.
