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.

Thank you Bruce. I have never tried Musgo Real. I may have to try it.

+ 1 very nice scales indeed (and blade)!

After talking to Bruce i starting to think about Ogallala. So i mixed her up with ToOBS. Smelled nice but i lost the bay rum scent.

I must say the Friodur is a work horse. Always delivers. Never a doubt!

Awesome job Men!

1959 Gillette Super Speed Red Tip
Crystal Israeli Blade
Ogallala SS & Musgo Real SC Uber-lather
Omega Boar
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Brut Original ASB
Brut Original Cologne
Results: Slick & Comfortable! The Red Tip SS delivered a super shave this morning. These are the best of the Super Speeds IMHO and are equivalent to an adjustable set on #7.

@ Rene'; The Ogallala SS & Musgo Real SC worked fine as far as creaminess but, the Musgo overwhelmed the Bay Rum Scent of the Ogallala SS as it did with your TOBS mix. Maybe if the SC didn't have any scent the Ogallala SS's scent would remain. Dunno. Oh well, science marches on! LOL
Hope everyone has a great shave and wonderful day today!

Looks like Frank (FBones24) is the one to watch on the count. He's next up for 1k!

Bruce,
Great shot. As for the Ogallala SS, my best uber with that creature came from a mix of Ogallala + CarrieM SC in Bay Rum. I seem to remember CarrieM telling me that she specifically designed her Bay Rum to match/compliment the Ogallala scent. I highly recommend trying it if you're searching for the ultimate combination that will preserve the wonderful scent!
