    Default Didn't shake my ogallala!

    As the title suggests I made a school boy error!

    My wife bought me a bottle of Ogallala for my birthday. On it's first outing I didn't bother to read the label "Shake well, apply generously". It burned a wee bit but I'd at least given it a cursory shake!

    Tonight, well, lather with the new MWF (I love this stuff) 2 passes with a gillette rocket flair tip and a personna isreali (very comfortable and sharp blades), alum and bay rum.

    Didn't shake the bottle at all. It felt like I'd been razor blank bobbing in the tempering oil, even numbed my lips

    Neat bay rum oil without the lovely witch hazel!

    There is a lesson in this somewhere

    Had the exact same experience when I got mine...failed to read the bottle. Scent was so strong, the wife and kids wouldn't come near me. It numbed my lips too!

    I shake it now

    Always remember guys, Ogllala is better shaken, not stirred.

    I saw that in a movie somewhere.

    I tried the stuff when it first came out years ago. Apparently Witch hazel doesn't mix well with other ingredients unless its loaded with stabilizers which that brand doesn't have so you have to shake before using. I learned that the hard way too.

    This site prepped me with the information to shake the Ogallala.
    What I wasn't prepared for was the free gift they included with the order...they added two 1 oz. bottles of their other scent and cologne.
    Pretty neat stuff, pretty neat company...IMHO

    I've tried ordering this from US and UK sites and neither can send it to me because of restrictions.

    I wonder if it's also prohibited for a private person to send this to Europe, if not, is anyone willing to do so? (either from the UK or US)

    Thanks!
