You could mix the Ogallala SS with some Musgo Real SC Rene' and it will make some nicely scented Uber. The Musgo gives the mix a more smooth and creamy texture instead of the waxy feel of the Ogallala SS lather by itself. You might give it a try, it's really pretty nice and the great scent is still there from the Ogallala.

Thanks Robert! I don't have everything but my collection has some significant types, styles and models that are interesting to me. I enjoy using them not just looking at them on a museum cabinet shelf. It makes shaving interesting and a pleasure instead of a chore. Thank you for noticing my meager collection my friend!

Yeah, it´s costly. Nanny has some soap with the real deal in it, a bit pricey, but I´ll bite that bullet any time now (tried a sample before and really liked it).

Ahh, nice one! Refreshing, close and effortless . This blade turned out to be very good, it looked close to NOS first, but then needed a lot of resoration to get back in shape. Now it´s close in action to my lovely Three Crosses razor though - A shaver

After spending 5 hours in the kitchens (Chef Training) it was great to get in the shower and follow up with a relaxing shave.
