Thread: Ogallala Bay Rum & Sandalwood Shaving Soap

I just purchased some Ogallala Bay Rum & Sandalwood and Ogallala Bay Rum, Sage & Cedar Shaving Soap from WestCost Shaving. I haven't seen much info on this soap here, but the reviews I have read seem positive. Any feedback from the community on this soap?

Its on my xmass list, but I haven't tried the soap. The aftershave is fantastic however.

Where did you get your aftershave from, and do they carry the soap? I sorta hated having this shipped from clear accross the country!

Never purchased, but am a huge Bay Rum fan. With that said it's sold on Ebay, and Ogalla has their own website. Kearney, Nebraska is where it comes from is what I found.
Now I might just need to order....Lord knows I don't need anymore shave soap or Aftershave LOL

I have the AS and do not like it at all. I do like some Bay Rums however

The AS lasts for hours on end. Sometimes even the next day. The soap is ok, you must really work the lather with the brush.

I have both the shave stick and the puck.
I find it very thirsty and it actually makes my skin a bit irritated ( I assume the sandalwood)
Otherwise, pretty slick, a good shaving soap. I don't use it very often. The scent is really nice and stays a while.

I find the soap has a tendency to dry out very fast on my face and needs more water than usual but the AS is lovely. I love the scent.

I tried some of the AS at the last meet-up I attended. I think the only way to get it is to order online.

For anyone considering purchasing Ogallala, I highly recommend going to their website and NOT eBay, Amazon...or any other site.
The Ogallala site sends a free gift or gifts depending on how much you order. This can be anything from their inventory up to a sampler pack of 1 oz plastic bottles of all they offer (Aftershave and Cologne).

Yes, I'm a huge fan of Ogallala AS. I love their Bay Rum (BR), BR with Lime and Peppercorn, and BR with sage and cedar. I wasn't a fan of the Sandalwood. To me, with that combination, the BR was lost...but to each his own.
