So I ordered the Ogallala Bay Rum Soap Sampler (BR Limes and Peppercorns, BR Lemograss, BR, BR Sage and Cedar, BR Sandalwood) with the Cologne and they threw in Limes and Peppercorns A/S and Regular A/S. I also received a sample of the P160, which is my favorite. Samples of Nancy Boy signature, T & H Grafton, 1805 and Trafalger.
I am giddy as a school boy. I can't wait for the other half to get here.
Now that's a great set of samples! I love the BRL&P myself...in fact, I think I'll use it today - it's been a long time... Never tried the Sage & Cedar - sounds interesting. I do like the BR & Sandalwood combination, too...
There's another half to the order? Wow!
I'm tempted with the Ogalalla, I may contact them to find out how much is to ship it abroad....
I ordered their Bay Rum Bonanza yesterday. Can't wait to received and try it on. I think I'll shave as soon as it arrives by mail.
+1 on all the Ogallala stuff my personal fav. is the BR & sandalwood AS and the "special reserve " Cologne. I wish they had the special reserve with sandalwood that would really be good stuff. Oh, I like their shave soaps too haven't gotten to the other stuff yet but if they're like the rest they will be worth having.
Interesting to note.
The A/S and the Cologne DO NOT appear to have the same ingredients. The A/S appears to have a oil blend and the Cologne lists each individual oil. They certainly smell different.
I prefer the cologne over the A/S and will probably use it as such as it appears that is the only difference.
FWIW, btw the BR L & P A/S I do not care for, but I will see if they have it in a cologne, mayhaps the difference in individual oils vs. blends will make a difference.
This may be off topic, but does ogallala have a sample pack that you can order? I can't find it on their website.Quote:

Here is the soap sampler
Here is the cologne sampler.
Yes that is the website that they use. They live in the middle of OK so I assume that they have dial up or a really slow connection.
Also do not forget the cologne sample for a penny. They threw in the L & P A/S and the BR A/S as freebies so you never know what you are going to get.
Got the second part of my sampler from Colonial Drug.
T & H Grafton
Tabas (Not Tabac, unless Tabac is yellow) Shave Cream
Bronnley Classic A/SB
CF Lime
Plisson Blue Cream
CF Cedar and Sandalwood Cream
CF Lavender
CF 1445 ASB
Men's Pino Cologne
CF Preshave
CF lime ASB
Oh What fun times are ahead.
Tabac is yellow.
Thank you. So I guess I get to try it and see what all the fuss is about.:)
Wow talk about SSAD hahah you're not alone. I ordered some from OBR as well adn should be arriving soon.Quote:

Please post your reviews
Thanks,

Currently the stand outs of the samples is Nancy Boy, Grafton and 1445 for smell.
Not to hip on the Ogallala, but I am still trying to suss it out.
When John Marquis from Ogallala sent me an invoice for my order of the Bay Rum Bonanza and the shaving soap sampler, the amount was too low to include the soap sampler. Darn said i to myself, he did not include the soap. Well I received my order today and the soap was a gift. Thank you Ogallala. Their service has been great and I hope i like it as much as what people write on the forum.
Great company and great stuff I'd say...but of course I'm a BIG fan of supporting folks from the heartland of the USA!
I ordered the Bay Rum Shaving Soap and got 2 gifts from John -- 2 generous samples of their other soaps -- One was Bay Rum Lime and Peppercorns (which I haven't tried yet) and the other Creamy Bay Rum & Sweet Orange (which I used this morning). They all have great aromas, and I found the one I've used so far lathered nicely with a little attention to the amount of soap and the amount of water. I use an old Pre de Provence can to gather the soap, and then a Dirty Bird scuttle to whip it up. It was great and lasted, with a little refresh of water through my FIRST WHOLE FACE SHAVE (sorry to shout, I'm very happy). Other than a bad case of SRAD, I am really enjoying treating myself to this new addiction.
I highly recommend dealing with Ogallala! They make some great products. The full sized Bay rum puck is 4.5 oz., and the "samples" are 1 oz. mini pucks. Great customer oriented company!
By the way, I ordered from this site: The World's Largest Bay Rum Website (and they are in Nebraska, not Oklahoma).
